35 American specialists attempt to identify and explain the factors that are most likely to influence Soviet foreign policy in the 1980s. Seweryn Bialer reviews the political legacy of the Brezhnev regime and analyzes problems inherent in the transfer of power. Robert W. Campbell studies the reasons for the slowing down of the Soviet economy and the problems in reviving it. Soviet military capabilities and the role of the armed forces are discussed by Coit D. Blacker. The silence in Soviet cultural life is examined by Maurice Friedberg. Andrzej Korbonski assesses Soviet assets and liabilities in maintaining control of Eastern Europe, particularly Poland. Finally, Adam Ulam analyzes the effect of the outside world on Soviet policies.
