This book identifies the essential features of the Soviet bloc's
economic nexus: the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (CMEA),
and GorbacheV's reforms. It describes the impact of reforms on the
CMEA and speculates on this organization's future. The author links
the recent developments within the CMEA with the wide ranging,
fundamental changes in the politics and economics of the Soviet
bloc. It also examines the connection between the recent upheaval
of the Eastern Alliance to the general flux on the entire European
continent in anticipation of the post-1992 abolition of internal
trade barriers in the European Community.
Sobell argues that the predictions of the CMEA's disintegration
must be seen in the context of the planned acceleration of West
European unification in the 1990s. The EC is poised to become the
core of the post Cold-War Europe and will act as a magnet on other
European countries, including CMEA members. The CMEA in the age of
perestroika, Sobell contends, will continue to maintain its
communist facade, but will be a profoundly different organization
with increasingly dynamic links with Western Europe.
