Soviet-Third World Relations presents an overview of Soviet policy
toward the less-developed countries and considers the determinants
of that policy and its reflection in action. The authors first
examine the theoretical underpinnings of Soviet-Third World policy,
including Leninism and Soviet developmental models, and explore the
tensions between prescribed "progressive" development strategies
and the realities of Third World political processes. Next, the
authors present a detailed look at the record of Soviet activities
in the Third World. This is a chronological and regional account,
which describes Soviet policy in the Middle East, Africa, Latin
America, and Asia. This part also provides a discussion of the
openings (such as local conflicts, "liberationist" movements, and
socialist causes) and the obstacles (nationalism, anti-imperialism,
the volatility of Third World politics) to Soviet policy in the
Third World. It closes with an analysis of Soviet foreign policy
tools, and asks whether chosen policy instruments achieve their
desired objectives. In the final section of the book, the authors
look at the decision-making context for Soviet-Third World
relations, including an analysis of Soviet objectives,
decision-making variables, and the participants in the
decision-making process. They conclude by assessing trends in
Soviet-Third World relations, the successes and failures of Soviet
activities in the nonindustrial world, and analyzing the current
situation. Here they address as well the lessons learned from the
past and the prospects for the post-Brezhnev, post-Andropov era.
