Anotace

Some of Bill Clinton's most basic foreign policy elements - democratic peace, the post-Cold War peace dividend, geopolitics and state-society relations are epitomized in the U.S.-Russian Highly Enriched Uranium (HEU) Purchase Agreement. It was one of the most remarkable initiatives of Clinton's presidency, but oddly one of the most obscure that still continues under President George W. Bush. This agreement illustrates how successfully the U.S. and Russia could work together to reduce global nuclear fears but also how a series of decisions pitted global designs over American domestic interests. This book: illustrates one of the most compelling decisions Clinton made as President; includes a case study which is a real example of the much vaunted 'peace dividend'; makes the theory of democratic peace clearly evident, and demonstrates a new and more advanced nuclear restraint regime, from reduction to elimination. The story behind this decision has repercussions for our understanding of arms control, foreign policy decision making and U.S.-Russian relations. This is a book about the intersection of levels of analysis, international security concerns and domestic political economy. It is ideal as a supplementary text for advanced courses in security and foreign policy.
