If international cooperation was difficult to achieve and to
sustain during the Cold War, why then were two rival superpowers
able to cooperate in placing limits on their central strategic
weapons systems? Extending an empirical approach to game
theory--particularly that developed by Robert Axelrod--Steve Weber
argues that although nations employ many different types of
strategies broadly consistent with game theory's "tit for tat,"
only strategies based on an ideal type of "enhanced contingent
restraint" promoted cooperation in U.S.-Soviet arms control. As a
theoretical analysis of the basic security behaviors of states, the
book has implications that go beyond the three bilateral arms
control cases Weber discusses--implications that remain important
despite the end of superpower rivalry. "An important theoretical
analysis of cooperation between the U.S. and the Soviet Union in
the area of arms control...An excellent work on a subject that has
received very little attention."--Choice Originally published in
1991. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand
technology to again make available previously out-of-print books
from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
These editions preserve the original texts of these important books
while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.
The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase
access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of
books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in
1905.
