Abstract
USING THE METHOD OF STRUCTURED, FOCUSED COMPARISON OF CASE STUDIES, THE AUTHOR BUILDS UPON A STRUCTURAL LEVEL ANALYSIS OF NECESSARY CONDITIONS TO IDENTIFY CONDITIONS SUFFICIENT FOR COOPERATION IN THE U.S.-SOVIET ARMS CONTROL RELATIONSHIP. HE STUDIES THREE CASES: ANTIBALLISTIC MISSILE SYSTEMS, MULTIPLE INDEPENDENTLY TARGETABLE RE-ENTRY VEHICLES, AND ANTI-SATELLITE WEAPONS. HE ARGUES THAT, ALTHOUGH EACH CASE FULFILLS THE CONDITIONS FOR COOPERATION IDENTIFIED BY DEDUCTIVE THEORY, THE OUTCOMES OF THE THREE CASES ARE FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT IN CHARACTER AND IN LONG-TERM IMPLICATIONS FOR U.S.-SOVIET RELATIONS.
