New Thinking in Soviet Military Policy (Chatham House Papers)

By Christoph Bluth

For the West, one of the most dramatic consequences of Gorbachev's leadership has been the new style in Soviety military policy and arms control conduct, resulting in the perception of a much reduced military doctrine and capabilities (nuclear and conventional), and their relation to foreign policy objectives and East-West relations. The new concepts of Soviet military doctrine, such as reasonable sufficiency and a defensive strategy, are analysed in some detail and the implications for the Soviet force posture and Western assessments of the Soviet Threat discussed.
