The Soviet Concept of the 'Correlation of Forces'

Abstract

This report analyzes the Soviet concept of the correlation of forces. It attempts from review of historical and contemporary Soviet literature (1) to illuminate the various factors subsumed under the concept, (2) to indicate the extent to which the concept represents a systematic approach to foreign policy, and (3) to assess the Soviet leadership's current evaluation of the international balance between the United States and the USSR.
