Description

This comprehensive analysis examines the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) and ballistic missile defense (BMD) systems through an integrated framework that bridges technology, strategy, and politics. Published by Routledge, the book addresses the critical gaps in SDI scholarship by moving beyond isolated examinations of individual disciplines. The work explores both short-range and long-range risks alongside potential benefits of developing and deploying space-based defense systems. Contributors analyse arms race stability implications, probable Soviet responses to U.S. defence initiatives, and the complex interplay between technological feasibility and geopolitical consequences. This essential reference brings together multiple perspectives on one of the most significant defence policy debates of the modern era.

Key Features

Integrated analysis combining technology, strategy, and politics of the Strategic Defense Initiative in one authoritative volume.

Examines ballistic missile defense systems with focus on both risks and potential benefits for national security.

Addresses arms race stability concerns and Soviet Union reactions to U.S. space-based defence proposals.

Published by Routledge, a leading academic publisher specialising in government, politics, and political science texts.

Suitable for students, academics, and policymakers studying defence policy, strategic theory, and Cold War history.
