.he new Reagan administration must promptly consider its policy toward southern Africa. The Namibian negotiations remain unsettled, and because of that potential crisis the prospects for an uncontrollable regional war involving major international powers have grown. Underlying any review ofregional policy must be a clearheaded assessment of U.S. interests in and policy toward South Africa itself. Are we as a nation genuinely concerned about furthering constructive changes in that troubled, complex society, or have our protestations over South African domestic policies during the past two decades been essentially reflexive and rhetorical, aimed at UN and domestic constituencies and at easing guilt about our own social shortcomings? If the concern is genuine, then a conjunction of events—rapid changes in southern Africa since the 1974 Portuguese coup, the tentative but substantial commitment to change made by the P.W. Botha government in South Africa since it took office in September 1978, the tacit acknowledgment by career Carter administration officials that the approach initiated in the first months of 1977 had failed, the massive Reagan victory, the Senate's Republican majority, and a conservative shift in the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives—gives us a momentary opportunity to launch a redirected policy intended to boost peaceful change in South Africa: a policy of constructive engagement.

A series of interviews accorded by Raymond Aron in 1980 to French television appear in this readable and captivating volume. Aron offers an analysis of the political and economic crises sweeping France during the past fifty years as well as a defense of the positions he took on specific issues. His discussions of the diplomatic failures to bridle Hitler's Germany, the economic weaknesses of the Popular Front's program, the Algerian conflict, and Prague Spring are particularly interesting. Following the war, Aron embarked on a double career as an editorialist and professor of sociology. Journalism permitted him to participate in the nation's political reconstruction and thus interpret history in the making, while academics provided the environment for the intellectual development of his political philosophy. An analyst and interpreter of events, Aron frequently found himself in disagreement with the French intelligentsia of the 1950s and 1960s. Considered an intellectual of the right while espousing a liberal conception of society, Aron cannot be readily categorized. His political attitudes emerged from a relativist approach to history, empirical analysis, and a liberal philosophy favoring pluralism. He appreciated the distinctions between general idealism and political realism. This volume serves as a useful introduction to the study of the political philosophy of one of France's great intellectuals.

[Editor's Note: The rapid succession of superpower summits that started with Geneva in 1985 and ends for the Reagan administration with Moscow in 1988, following a record dry spell in such meetings, reflects equally extreme changes in rhetoric and policy toward the Soviet Union. These symbolic occasions, dominated by the world's leading political personalities, can both highlight and obscure fundamental aspects of the relationship between these two seasoned adversaries. To evaluate more precisely these changes in the evolution of this classic relationship, the SAIS REVIEW has asked a number of foreign policy specialists (most with previous policy experience) to respond — all too briefly — to the following questions. With this collection of memories, observations, and suggestions, the SAIS REVIEW aims to offer its readers a framework within which to analyze this newest round in superpower relations.]

„s the 1984 presidential election comes into focus, and the memory of the Korean airliner recedes, the Reagan administration will probably make one more attempt to reach an arms control agreement with the Soviet Union. From a political perspective, the administration is well positioned. If Reagan can demonstrate his flexibility, the Soviets will either have to make a deal, which will deprive the Democrats of the nuclear issue, or they will bluster and refuse to cooperate, thus helping Reagan to prove his point about Soviet disingenuousness on arms control. Because of the Korean airliner tragedy, too, the Soviets have an additional incentive to be cooperative and regain some of the credibility they lost in Europe. If the Soviets decide to cooperate, the United States may find an astute Yuri Andropov prepared to cut a larger deal. If the United States stops supporting Afghani insurgents and stops encouraging the Poles and other Eastern Europeans, the Soviets will call off their wolves in Central America.
