This 1990 publication puts forward the view that superpower
competition in the Third World has always carried with it the
likelihood of acute crises and that this likelihood may be reduced
through a variety of tacit understandings or explicit agreements
between Washington and Moscow. As the central study from the Ford
Foundation/Southampton University project on North/South security
relations, the text brings together specialists from a variety of
backgrounds to identify the roots of the competitive relationship
in the 1970s and 1980s and then consider a range of specific
regional conflicts in which both superpowers have been involved.
Although superpower collaboration had increased, the long-term
character and intentions of Soviet and American involvement in the
Third World remained uncertain. In these circumstances it was
particularly timely to reappraise past experience and assess the
future prospects for crisis prevention in politically turbulent and
potentially dangerous areas.
