In a product initiated by members of the Global Peace and Conflict Studies Program (U. of California-Irvine), scholars from the US, Russia, western Europe, and Israel examine the extent to which the Cold War and its end were the result of domestic politics in the US and the Soviet Union rather than a conflict between the two countries. While not adhering strictly to Robert Putman's two-level-game framework, they clarify the existence of multiple layers of the domestic arena and the interaction between internal politics and foreign policy.
