Major Power Conflict Exchanges in the Sixties: A Triadic Analysis of the U. S., Soviet, and Chinese Sub-System from a Comparative Foreign Policy View

Abstract

Observers have come to recognize the importance of examining the effects of third parties on the behavioral exchanges between two nations. This is evidenced in the relations between the United States, the Soviet Union, and China. The paper ascertains the impact of each of the dyadic exchanges among these three nations on the other behavioral exchanges in the triadic subsystem they form. The findings of the study show that when considering the exchanges between any two of these nations, policy makers must also consider what is happening in the other parts of the triad. These third party exchanges are found to add considerably to the explanation of specific strategies employed by the three nations.
