Publisher Information
The Academy of Political Science is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization founded in 1880 with a threefold mission: [1] to contribute to the scholarly examination of political institutions, processes, and public policies, [2] to enrich political discourse and channel the best social science research in an understandable way to political leaders for use in public policy making and the process of governing, and [3] to educate members of the general public so that they become informed voters in the democratic process. The major vehicles for accomplishing these goals are its journal, Political Science Quarterly, Academy conferences, and the publication of proceedings or symposia based on conference presentations. The prestige and authority of the Academy are such that statesmen and scholars of all political persuasions have enrolled as members, participated in its conferences, and contributed to its publications. Former presidents Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, and George Bush are honorary members of the Academy.

Abstract
Formulations of conventional international relations theory like 'political realism' do not analyse bloc and superpower rivalry in a manner that places adequate emphasis on the systemic characteristics of such rivalry. Thus US-USSR relations have been treated as essentially a 'great power' rivalry and the bloc conflict as one between two alliance structures associated with a bi-polar model of power equations on the world scale. This paper, contending with the 'realist' tradition, marks out the Russian Revolution of 1917 as its starting point and argues that the global schism between two irreconcilable socio-economic, political and value systems had four principal axes. Treating superpower relations as one of the axes the paper seeks to locate the evolution of US-USSR relations in a wider survey of overall global trends.
