In his new study, Kelley looks at the emergence of what Soviet
theorists call a "developed socialist society" and at the recent
political, economic, and social developments, up to and including
those of the early days of the Gorbachev administration, that are
contributing to this newest adaptation of Marxism-Leninism. His
central premise is that the Soviet leadership, having arrived at a
turning point created by the impact of the scientific and
technological revolution, has recognized the inability of existing
policies and institutions to meet the needs of a rapidly maturing
system. Kelley finds that, both as a theoretical stage in the
evolution toward communism and as a reflection of changes in Soviet
society, the concept of developed socialism presents a picture of
political and social modernization that is in many ways the
counterpart of the Western theory of post-industrial society. He
also notes a new, seemingly more flexible Soviet approach to
ideology as such. The Soviets, he observes, look upon the theory of
developed socialism itself as being in an evolving state, treating
it as an open-ended model of future economic and social
transformation whose outlines are only gradually becoming
discernable.
