Book Synopsis The Strategic Defense Initiative by : Edward Reiss
Download or read book The Strategic Defense Initiative written by Edward Reiss and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1992-07-23 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This history of the Strategic Defense Initiative ranges across politics, economics, strategic studies and international relations, and provides the latest research into the SDI interest groups, the distribution of contracts, and the politics of influence. It discusses the wider contexts of 'Star Wars', such as alliance management, marketing, and domestic politics, and its military spin-offs, especially for anti-satellite (ASAT) and 'space control' programmes. The author tests the theoretical literature on the dynamics of the arms race by using SDI as a case study, and draws evidence from sources such as congressional hearings, interviews, the trade press, restricted briefing papers, and documents obtained under the US Freedom of Information Act. The book follows the fortunes of strategic defence into the changed global conditions of the 1990s, following the collapse of the Soviet bloc, the Gulf War, and President Bush's announcement of a refocused SDI, the Global Protection Against Limited Strikes (GPALS).

Download or read book Star Wars written by Robert Bowman and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume reveals the plain facts about Star Wars as seen by Bowman, who in his 22-year Air Force career was director of the Advanced Space Programs Development and controlled the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency studies. These studies covered high-energy laser development, advanced surveillance spacecraft, advanced space vehicle subsystems, and other Star Wars-related research. Bowman begins with an overview of the development of missile systems and their impact on international security and the Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) treaty. He also covers the strategic and technical implications of anti-satellite (ASAT) weapons and the ballistic missile defense system. Though the proponents of the Star Wars argue that it is a purely defensive system and a moral alternative to Mutual Assured Destruction, the author believes that it would be a Death Star system, destroying Earth and its inhabitants.

Book Synopsis NATO and the Strategic Defence Initiative by : Luc-André Brunet
Download or read book NATO and the Strategic Defence Initiative written by Luc-André Brunet and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-08-19 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the largely neglected issue of responses to the US Strategic Defence Initiative (SDI, or the 'Star Wars' missile defence programme) across NATO. The chapters here explore the reactions of different Western allies to the announcement of the SDI in 1983 and especially the 1985 invitation to participate. While existing studies have explored the origins of the American programme and the role it may have played in ending the Cold War, this volume breaks new ground by considering the impact of the SDI on transatlantic relations in the 1980s. Based on newly available archival sources, this volume re-evaluates the responses of eight NATO member-state governments, as well as the Soviet leadership, to the SDI. In addition to looking at ‘top-down’ governmental reactions, the volume also explores the ‘bottom-up’ response to the SDI of civil society and peace activists on both sides of the Atlantic. The volume examines how the American initiative – derisively named ‘Star Wars’ by its detractors – provoked a crisis in relations with its allies during the final decade of the Cold War and how those tensions within NATO were ultimately resolved. This book will be of much interest to students of Cold War history, strategic studies, foreign policy and international history.
