Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: This study analyzes the dynamics of Soviet-U.S. relations in the changing security environment at the end of the cold war. It is argued that Gorbachev rejected the implications of strategic rationality. Instead, he engaged in a strategy of altercasting - a technique of inter-actor control in which ego uses tactics of self-presentation and stage management in an attempt to frame alter's definition of the situation in ways that create the role which ego desires alter to play. This paper asks whether Reagan changed his beliefs about the Soviet Union in response to Gorbachev's strategy of altercasting. The study uses a combination of automated content analysis and sequential game theory to determine the impact Gorbachev' s moves had on the U.S. leader's perceptions and beliefs. In a subsequent stage this paper asks what impact these perceptions and beliefs had on the strategic interactions between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. It concludes by discussing the utility of cognitive versus behavioral approaches to peace and conflict processes and by emphasizing the importance of identifying the micro foundations of macro theories.
