The Strategic Defense Initiative

Meer over het boek

The book explores the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) through the lenses of politics, economics, and international relations, analyzing the influence of interest groups and contract distribution. It delves into themes like alliance management, marketing, and military applications, particularly in antisatellite and space control programs. By examining congressional hearings and various documents, the author assesses the arms race dynamics using SDI as a case study and traces the initiative's evolution in the post-Cold War era, including its rebranding under President Bush.
