It discusses how Shevardnadze, an adviser close to President Gorbachev and a member of the Defense Council, has evolved from a fairly traditional supporter of the Soviet defense establishment into one of its harshest critics. It discusses MFA-military differences in specific policy areas (e.g., doctrine and force reductions) and their implications for the military. The report thus examines both the new procedures by which the Soviet Union makes defense policy and the emerging substance of that policy.  aAlso available on the internet via WWW in PDF format.  aDescription based on print version record.10aShevardnadze, Ėduard Amvrosievich.10aSoviet Union.bMinisterstvo inostrannykh del. 0aArms controlzSoviet Union. 0aSoviet UnionxForeign relationsy1985-1991. 0aSoviet UnionxMilitary policy.2 aInternational Security and Defense Policy Center.2 aRand Corporation.1 aUnited States.bOffice of the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy.41yOnline Accessuhttp://www.rand.org/pubs/reports/R3898/
