Modernizing the Soviet Textile Industry: Implications for Perestroika
Abstract
This report presents a case study of the investment program to modernize the Soviet textile industry. The work was undertaken as part of a continuing research program in International Economic Policy, the principal focus of which is to explore the connection between international economics and national security issues, within RAND's National Security Research Division. The present report is designed to assist analysts in understanding the actual practice of Soviet industrial modernization under Gorbachev's drive for perestroika by examining the experience in one sector of the economy. In the course of doing so, it identifies issues that may be determinants of the likelihood of success in modernizing more crucial sectors of the economy, particularly machine building. (rrh)
