The Changing Soviet Union

Mehr zum Buch

Published in 1991 in the midst of epoch-making historic changes, this book offers an immediate, vital response to the collapse of the Soviet bloc. The Changing Soviet Union brings together contributions from 12 of the Soviet Union's leading political analysts, from Canadian experts and authorities from Europe and the U.S. The topics covered include the decline of Soviet power and the need for new security arrangements; the impact of glasnost and democratization; perestroika and the economy; trade and investment prospects; nationalism and human rights; aid from the west; and polar neighbours. The Changing Soviet Union presents informed, often prescient forecasts of imminent changes in relations between nations, trading patterns, defence, and global stability.
