Summary:

Arguing that security is no longer a matter simply of military superiority--that the postwar paradigm of security as linked primarily to arms racing is being displaced by one based to an increasing degree on economic, ecological, political, and cultural cooperation--Lucas addresses the changing political, economic, and military environments in Europe in the wake of the INF Treaty between the United States and the Soviet Union.
