Unreferenced date January 2008 Superpower disengagement is a foreign policy option whereby the most powerful nations, the superpower s, reduce their interventions in an area. Such disengagement could be multilateral among superpowers or lesser powers, or bilateral between two superpowers, or unilateral. It could mean an end to either direct or indirect interventions. For instance, disengagement could mean that the superpowers remove their support of proxies in proxy war s in order to de escalate a superpower conflict back to a local problem based on local disputes. Disengagement can create buffers between superpowers that might prevent conflicts or reduce the intensity of conflicts. The term usually refers to various policy proposals during the Cold War which attempted to defuse tensions between the Soviet Union and the United States , largely because of the risk of any superpower conflict to escalate to Nuclear warfare nuclear war . Examples of one sided disengagement include when Joseph Stalin decided to end Soviet support for the communist guerrilla s in Greece during the Greek Civil War , and when Richard Nixon withdrew US troops from Vietnam in the early 1970s. The more important candidates for disengagement were where Soviet and US forces faced each other directly such as in Germany and Austria . The Austrian State Treaty is an example of formal, multilateral , superpower disengagement which left Austria as neutral for the duration of the Cold War, with Austria staying out of the Warsaw Pact , NATO , and the European Economic Community . The 1952 Stalin Note is perhaps the most controversial proposal of superpower disengagement from Germany.

In Second Chance , Dr. Brzezinski writes about the last 15 years of American foreign policy where the U.S., emerging as the victor in the Cold War, has been the lone superpower. He writes about how the last three presidents, George H. W. Bush , Bill Clinton , and George W. Bush , have demonstrated leadership and wielded power in the last decade and a half as the leader of a virtually unchallenged world power. Brzezinski sets the book up by giving his history of the Cold War, and how it was a combination of presidents, not just Ronald Reagan , and international events that lead to the demise of the Soviet system. He describes the two emerging views of the world as the Globalization view and the Neoconservative view.
