Ideological debate is one component of the intellectual background
to Soviet policy-making. Originally published in 1987, this paper
explores how Soviet writers wrestle with the challenge to their
ideology that is posed by the threat of nuclear war. What, for
example, is the relationship between the values of peace and of
socialism? What drives the arms race? Is capitalism inherently
militaristic, or is a demilitarized capitalism conceivable? Is the
outcome of history predetermined or open? It is shown that the
range of permissible views is wider than often assumed, and that
the constraints of Soviet ideology do not exclude evolution towards
a more cooperative approach to international security.
