It argues that growing long-term economic relations between the NSWP and the West could have just such an adverse effect on reliability from the Soviet viewpoint. Since a reduction in NSWP reliability is consistent with a strengthening of deterrence, promotion of growing economic ties with Eastern Europe may serve U.S. and NATO interests. This policy would differ from the current "differentiation" policy pursued by the United States in that it would not attempt to shape NSWP behavior through a system of positive and negative incentives. Instead, it would attempt to exacerbate Soviet concerns about NSWP political and military reliability by expanding economic ties between the NSWP and the West in a long-term evolutionary fashion. The author identifies four examples of areas for trade expansion with Eastern Europe: pollution control equipment, nuclear power safety equipment, medical supplies and equipment, and promotion of joint business ventures.  aAlso available on the internet via WWW in PDF format.  aDescription based on print version record. 0aJoint ventureszEurope, Eastern. 0aJoint ventureszUnited States. 0aTechnology transferzEurope, Eastern. 0aTechnology transferzUnited States. 0aEurope, EasternxForeign relationszUnited States. 0aUnited StatesxForeign relationszEurope, Eastern.2 aInternational Security and Defense Policy Center.2 aRand Corporation.1 aUnited States.bOffice of the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy.41yOnline Accessuhttp://www.rand.org/pubs/reports/R3566/
