The essay analyzes from a US foreign-policy perspective, the complex interconnections that linked the Helsinki process to the changes in the balance of international economic power that were eventually sanctioned at the Rambouillet G6 summit in 1975. While the essay acknowledges that the provisions pertaining to economic cooperation – the so-called Basket II – were never at the heart of the CSCE negotiations as such, the hypothesis is raised that the issues of East-West trade and related topics were of greater importance for the prospects of European security than is usually recognized.

Abstract
The essay analyzes from a US foreign-policy perspective, the complex interconnections that linked the Helsinki process to the changes in the balance of international economic power that were eventually sanctioned at the Rambouillet G6 summit in 1975. While the essay acknowledges that the provisions pertaining to economic cooperation – the so-called Basket II – were never at the heart of the CSCE negotiations as such, the hypothesis is raised that the issues of East-West trade and related topics were of greater importance for the prospects of European security than is usually recognized.
