第二章对苏联经济停滞进行了严格的分析，并审查了改革的计划和前景。关于苏联经济的增长和苏联与外部世界之间的贸易，有许多非常翔实的表格和图表。每一章都有到1983年底的最新参考书目。五章涉及政治和军事问题。特别高质量的是Thane Gustafson的“安德罗波夫加入”，Steven Rosefielde的“苏联军备增加还是美国军备下降？”迪米特里·K西姆斯的《西方能影响苏联的思维吗？》沃尔夫冈·莱昂哈德的《苏联外交政策：利益、动机和目标》，以及弗里茨·W。Ermath的“美国和苏联的战略挑战。最后两章实际上是理查德·派普斯的一篇短文《美国的政策机遇》和劳伦斯·斯伦伯格的一篇简短演讲《美国的国家利益和苏联》。“这本书是在苏联内部侵蚀和外部扩张的时期，由一个高度专业化的专家小组对苏联极权主义的政治体进行的定期检查。华盛顿的政策制定者应该特别感兴趣，因为这项工作主要是为他们准备的。1982年，美国新闻署、乔治敦大学战略与国际研究中心和位于华盛顿，华盛顿特区的凯南高级俄罗斯研究所委托这些章节的作者提交论文，并在1983年举行的为期一天的四次会议上进行了激烈的讨论。随后，作者修改了他们的论文，并以最终形式出现在本书中。这整个过程是由华盛顿的决策者发起的，他们渴望从苏联研究领域的专家那里获益。令人鼓舞的是，政府官员和决策者渴望与杰出学者进行知识层面的合作。这项工作是如此的质量，它也将是有用的广大学者谁想要跟上苏联的最新发展。
chapter presents a rigorous analysis of Soviet economic stagnation and examines the plans and prospects for reform. There are a number of very informative tables and charts pertaining to the growth of the Soviet economy and to trade between the Soviet Union and the outside world. Each chapter has a very up-to-date bibliography to the end of 1983. Five chapters deal with political and military matters. Of especially high quality are Thane Gustafson's "The Andropov Accession," Steven Rosefielde's "Soviet Arms Buildup or US Arms Decline?," Dimitri K. Simes's "Can the West Affect Soviet Thinking?," Wolfgang Leonhard's "Soviet Foreign Policy: Interests, Motives and Objectives," and Fritz W. Ermath's "The United States and the Soviet Strategic Challenge." The final two chapters are really a brief essay by Richard Pipes, "US Policy Opportunities," and a short speech by Lawrence Eagleburger, "US National Interests and the Soviet Union." This book constitutes a periodic check up of the body politic of Soviet totalitarianism by a highly specialized team of experts at a time of internal erosion and external expansion in the USSR. It should be of particular interest to policy makers in Washington, for whom this work was primarily intended. The authors of the chapters were commissioned in 1982 by the United States Information Agency, the Georgetown University Center for Strategic and International Studies, and the Kennan Institute for Advanced Russian Studies in Washington, D.C. to present papers, which were exposed to vigorous discussion during a series of four one-day conferences held in 1983. Subsequently, the authors revised their papers, which appear in this book in their final form. This whole process was initiated by the policy makers in Washington, who were eager to benefit from experts in the field of Soviet studies. It is very encouraging that government officials and policy makers are anxious to cooperate on an intellectual level with outstanding scholars. This work is of such quality that it will also be useful to academicians at large who want to keep up with the latest developments in the Soviet Union.
