Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
How much power does the Soviet military exert on the politics of the Kremlin? This is one of the most controversial questions in the study of the Soviet Union, here addressed by eight top Western specialists on Soviet politics and security policy. While the authors assert that the civilmilitary relationship has been less turbulent than often believed, they also point out that Gorbachev's reforms threaten the system of buffers that have until now shielded the militaryindustrial world from disruption and change.Introduced by Timothy Colton's essay, 'Perspectives on CivilMilitary Relations,' the volume discusses civilmilitary relations in relation to political change (Bruce Parrott), the KGB (Amy Knight), resource stringency and civilmilitary resource allocation (Robert Campbell), the defense industry (Julian Cooper), response to technological challenge (Thane Gustafson), social change (Ellen Jones), and consequences of external expansion (Bruce D. Porter). Gustafson has written a concluding chapter, 'Toward a Crisis in CivilMilitary Relations?'Originally published in 1990.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest printondemand technology to again make available previously outofprint books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
