The Other “Global Warming”: The Impact of Perestroika on the US

The conventional wisdom in Washington is that the Cold War is “over,” and the US has definitely “won.” Among other things, what this means is that the global project of containment that has anchored American politics since 1947 is now obsolete. Gorbachev's willingness to restructure Moscow's relations with Western Europe, the US, and Eastern Europe has already transformed the diplomatic landscape. The following discussion assumes that perestroika will continue and that Western nations will accept it as a decisive break with the past. In that case, virtually all bets about existing power relations are off. If the US is to survive as a superpower, it also needs a perestroika.
