Abstract
The Cold War was a political reflection of strategic, ideological and economic rivalries between the USSR and America. This paper shows how the power struggle between the U.S. and the USSR had grave consequences on all domestic and foreign policies and impacted everyday life around the world.

From the Paper
"In summary, what appeared was a new world order in which the United States held economic and military supremacy, challenged only by the Soviet Union. In that context, the West Pacific Rim and continental Europe recovered and resumed their pre-War growth paths by adopting international strategies to achieve national development, while the United States and the Soviet Union became increasingly distracted by military concerns."
