In this book Robert E. Harkavy analyses the modern status and the
associated diplomacy of basing access, against the background of
past political, military, and technological relationships. He
provides a comprehensive description of the major powers' global
basing networks, including their types, their locations, and the
politics and economics of their acquisition. Professor Harkavy also
gives details of the facilities the bases make available - naval,
air, ground, missile, intelligence, communications, research and
testing, environmental monitoring, and space-related - and provides
a wealth of tables and maps depicting US and Soviet global
networks. He analyses the roles of these bases for the USA, the
USSR and other major powers, and discusses emerging political and
technological developments which may alter basing diplomacy: the
diffusion of power away from the superpowers, the increasing
leverage of the smaller countries that host bases, the strengthened
role of satellites in comparison with facilities on land and the
possible impact of space defences on basing requirements. The
crucial link between arms transfers and the politics of basing is
emphasized, and the final section is devoted to the politics and
economics of foreign military presence.
