Economic Perestroika: The Consequences of Success

Abstract

This report examines economic perestroika and the consequences of a successful Soviet economic transformation on U.S. security interests. The study is organized into three major sections: The domestic criteria for the success of economic reforms in the Soviet Union. These include an assessment of the major obstacles to success; The international criteria for success, including an assessment of Gorbachev's national strategy which has dramatically transformed the international system to create conditions necessary for the success of an economic revolution at home; and The consequences of success in the short and long term.
