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).
Book Synopsis The Origins of SDI, 1944-1983 by : Donald R. Baucom

Book excerpt: Most people think Star Wars began with the ideas of Ronald Reagan, but its roots reach decades further back. In this first scholarly account of the origins of the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), historian Don Baucom traces these roots back to the dawn of the missile age in 1944. He finds SDI emerging after a period of nearly 40 years from forces generated by technological developments, changing strategic conditions, and the collapse of the SALT arms control negotiations of the 1970s.

Book Synopsis The Technology, Strategy, And Politics Of Sdi by : Stephen J Cimbala
Download or read book The Technology, Strategy, And Politics Of Sdi written by Stephen J Cimbala and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-06-25 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) to develop a ballistic missile defense (BMD) system has both short-range and long-range risks as well as potential benefits. For the most part, however, strategic, technological, and political issues relevant to SDI have been analyzed in isolation from one another. This book provides a more inclusive framework for assessing the possible development and deployment of a BMD system by the United States or the Soviet Union. Contributors discuss the risks for arms race stability, probable reactions of the Soviet Union to any U.S. space-based defense system, and implications for the stability of extended deterrence commitments to NATO European allies. They also evaluate Soviet research and development programs in missile defense that must be considered in any extrapolation of the requirements for U.S. deterrence in the next several decades.

Book Synopsis Strategic Defense Initiative by : Scott Armstrong
Download or read book Strategic Defense Initiative written by Scott Armstrong and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This pamphlet presents a discussion of the various components of President Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) including the problem of pulling together various new technologies into an effective defensive system and the politics of the so-called "star wars" system. An important part of the defense initiative is the "layered" defense system in which star-wars weapons attack nuclear warheads at four phases of their 30-minute trip from silos to U.S. territory. One of the major weapons discussed is the railgun being developed at the Army's weapon design facility in Dover, New Jersey. This weapon uses bursts of electricity instead of gunpowder. At first the star-wars system would likely rely on railgun projectiles and warheads on fast rockets, both of which get their destructiveness from kinetic energy, the energy of motion. Another type of kinetic energy weapon that is much more technologically mature is the lightening-quick rocket interceptor. The U.S. military now has a wide range of such rockets in its arsenal, including shoulder-fired anti-aircraft Stingers, the Sidewinder, and the recently tested Air Force anti-satellite missile. These could be used to attack ballistic missiles and warheads in space. SDI officials do not see development of a practical and affordable beam weapon system occurring this century. Many technological advances are being made in the SDI program, but it may be near the turn of the decade before those working on SDI can say whether a working system can be developed. A series of questions designed to stimulate classroom discussion concludes the document. (SM)
Book Synopsis The Strategic Defense Initiative by : Rebecca S. Bjork
Download or read book The Strategic Defense Initiative written by Rebecca S. Bjork and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1992-11-03 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through an analysis of the language and persuasive strategies used by the Reagan and Bush administrations in selling the SDI program to the Congress and the American public, Bjork takes a fresh approach to the study of U.S. foreign policy. She focuses on the shared meanings and understandings of policy as they are created through sociocultural interaction. Using Kenneth Burke's philosophy and critical method of dramatism as a theoretical framework, she shows how Reagan's SDI program appealed symbolically to a nostalgic sense of American history, replete with powerful images of American innocence and technological ingenuity in the face of difficult obstacles. Bjork concludes that the program has been shielded from criticism, has achieved symbolic and bureaucratic momentum, and serves to reinforce the isolation felt by ordinary American citizens from access to decisions over life and death issues.
