Reagan was reelected Nov. 6 1984. By undermining the Soviet economy, within 2 weeks he was able to get the Soviets to come to the negotiating table on his (Reagan's) terms.
Reagan's strategy to undermine the Soviet economy was:
1) acces to Western capital markets was made more difficult
2) export controls on sensitive technology was tightened
3) some of the technology that the Soviets were able to acquire illegally or steal was out of date or booby trapped.
