Farewell to Detenle?
The Soviet armed intervention in Afghanistan has provoked an immediate and sharp response in the West. It has confirmed the fears of many that Moscow's foreign policy aims have changed for the worse. How far does this latest action represent a shift in Soviet intentions? What effective steps can the West take in response? How will it affect the process of detente and East-West relations generally? What does it say about the role of force as an instrument of foreign policy? Is an acceleration of the arms race now inevitable? Professor Laurence Martin , Vice-Chancellor of the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, is in the chair. Producer TOM READ
