The domino theory was a 20th Century foreign policy theory, promoted by the government of the United States, that speculated if one land in a region came under the influence of Communists, then more would follow in a domino effect. The domino effect suggests that some change, small in itself, will cause a similar change nearby, which then will cause another similar change, and so on in linear sequence, by analogy to a falling row of dominoes standing on end. The Domino Theory was prosecuted by successive United States administrations during the Cold War, to justify American intervention around the world.
Domino Theory is the twelfth studio album by Weather Report. It is the second album to feature the Hakim-Bailey-Rossy rhythm section.
