The world has recently witnessed remarkable changes in Soviet
foreign policy. Eastern Europe has sprung free of the country that
held it in its grip for over forty years. The Soviet leadership has
accepted the reunification of Germany and supported the
US-sponsored resolution in the UN permitting the use of force in
the Gulf against one of its former allies. Moreover, the
leadership's quest for stability during a time of rapid
technological, economic and political change has seriously weakened
the position of the Soviet Union on the international scene. This
timely volume assesses these dramatic changes. It chronicles the
debate within the Soviet Union over the success and validity of
perestroika and the 'new thinking' on foreign affairs, the policy
alternatives supported by various groups within the elite and their
likely impact on future policies. The authors, who comprise a broad
range of leading analysts from Europe, North America, Africa, and
Asia also provide specific regional and country case studies. They
examine changes in the Soviet-East European relationship, Soviet
policy towards Northern Europe, and the impact that shifts in
Soviet policy are likely to have on a variety of developing
countries.
