Gorbachev's accession to General Secretary promised great changes
to the Soviet Union and its relationship with the rest of the
world. This book, first published in 1987, discusses the problems
faced by Gorbachev when he entered office and how he planned to
tackle them. Gorbachev was a figure of genuine debate in the
mid-1980s, raising doubts from Western specialists regarding his
radicalism and ability to reform the Soviet economic system in
particular. Here, Dyker and his colleagues assess the changes
Gorbachev had already made to consolidate his power base, alongside
those that he was proposing to make to agriculture, industry and
foreign relations at the time of publication. The book speculates
about how Gorbachev might implement his proposed political and
economic reforms, what opposition he might encounter and how
successful he would be. A fascinating insight into Soviet economic
and political policy in the years leading up to the Union's
collapse, this work will be of particular importance to students
and academics researching the personality of Gorbachev and the
political and economic history of the Soviet Union.
