The Cold War and the 1984 Olympic Games: A Soviet-American Surrogate War

P. D'Agati, "The Cold War and the 1984 Olympic Games: A Soviet-American Surrogate War"
2013 | ISBN-10: 1137330619 | 197 pages | PDF | 1 MB

The Soviet boycott of the 1984 Olympic Games is explained as the result of a complex series of events and policies that culminated in a strategic decision to not participate in Los Angeles. Using IR framework, D'Agati developes and argues for the concept of surrogate wars as an alternative means for conflict between states.
