Book Description
Soviet Risk-Taking and Crisis Behavior, first published in 1982, examines the question: for what purposes and under what conditions were Soviet leaders prepared to take risks in international relations? The first part of the book sets out to define the concept of risk and to examine its analytical relevance for foreign policy, its measurement and its relation to the dynamics of crisis. The second part consists of in-depth analysis of Soviet behavior in the Berlin crises of 1948 and 1961. The third and last part compares Soviet policy in the two crises, and the actions of the two different leaderships, as well as relating it to Soviet behavior in other geographical areas.

Soviet Crisis Prevention and Management
Author: Hannes Adomeit
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Soviet Union
Languages : en
Pages : 33
Book Description
This paper reviews Soviet behavior in international crises to determine both the patterns of Soviet behavior and their underlying determinants. Specifically, it considers whether Soviet leaders typically initiate or react to challenges and dangers; how the Soviet Union has attempted to manage the risks of crisis and conflict; whether the Soviets have generally been well prepared to cope with crises, and the effect their degree of control has had on their behavior; their use of verbal and nonverbal threats; the extent to which Soviet leaders rely on secrecy, deception, and surprise in or prior to an international crisis; whether Soviets prefer to create a fait accompli; whether Soviets observe certain "rules" or "conventions" in Soviet-American crises; and whether Soviet crisis behavior has varied under different leaderships. The author concludes that, in major superpower crises, Soviet leaders have typically preferred to achieve foreign policy objectives by the threat of military force rather than by the actual use of force, and have been conscious of whether their actions would be regarded by the adversary as an unacceptable threat to his vital interests and an intolerable change of the status quo.

ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 72
Book Description
Soviet behavior in risk situations is analyzed for 29 crises from 1945 to 1963. The inherent risk for the Soviet Union in each crisis situation is scaled according to: The countries involved; The stakes; Geographical location; Developmental factors; Relative military strength. Soviet behavior in each crisis is scaled according to: Proportionality of risk-taking to objectives (actional symmetry construct); Maximum Soviet bid; Character of crisis outcome; Timing of major moves. The behavioral variables are tested for statistical correlation with the situational variables.

Soviet Strategy
Author: John Baylis
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000264807
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
This book, first published in 1981, is an analysis of the Soviet Union’s military strategy, taking in both sides of the ‘hawks’ and ‘doves’ views of the USSR’s intentions. It examines the Soviet approach to nuclear war, defence and deterrence in the nuclear age and the calculation of risk in the use of the military instrument. One of the main themes running through the chapters is that although the Soviet Union clearly does not view military issues in the same way as does the West, their approach is not necessarily aggressive and dangerous in all respects.
