Dependence and Interdependence in the Warsaw Pact

Abstract

For the foreseeable future, then, we may expect dependency to be preeminent within the WTO. Interdependence and the appearance of interdependence will ebb and flow as the Soviet and Eastern European leaderships perform their respective cost-benefit calculations. But interdependence itself probably will not supercede dependence as a force in intra-WTO relations until Eastern Europeans -- and Russians as well -- overlook the fact that the new uniform-gauge railroad connecting the USSR and Poland -- and implicitly all of Eastern Europe -- can speed the delivery of Soviet guns as well as butter. And that may be some time.
