ABSTRACT

Negotiating the Final Act. Soviets try to renegotiate points lost at Dipoli but the West stands firm, gaining bargaining advantage from Brezhnev’s impatience to complete. Main issues: principles guiding relations, human rights, military Confidence-Building Measures, peaceful change of frontiers, Berlin, non-intervention, the Brezhnev Doctrine, self-determination, and freer movement of people and information. Battles over translations.
