{"product_id":"the-strategic-defense-initiative-edward-reiss-9780521410977","title":"The Strategic Defense Initiative","description":"This history of the Strategic Defense Initiative shows how political, economic, strategic and cultural factors have interacted to shape SDI. It examines new research into the SDI interest groups, the distribution of contracts, and the politics of influence, and explores SDI in terms of alliance management, popular culture and military spin-offs. Throughout, the author tests the theoretical literature on the dynamics of the arms race against the reality of \"Star Wars,\" and draws important conclusions about the motive causes of SDI and its prospects for the 1990s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edward Reiss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521410975\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521410977\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/23\/1992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.23w x 0.94d","brand":"Edward Reiss","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44056266211583,"sku":"9780521410977","price":173.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_41edfaa9-495b-4506-930e-baa4f2f1790c.jpg?v=1685040411","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-strategic-defense-initiative-edward-reiss-9780521410977","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
