It focuses on the mechanisms used by the Soviet Union to pursue its objectives in Europe, including diplomacy, military power, arms control, the West European Communist parties, ties with the non-Communist left, propaganda, and trade. The author concludes that the Soviet Union has achieved mixed results in its policy toward Western Europe. While it has succeeded in helping to consolidate postwar gains, Soviet policy has not yet made a dramatic breakthrough toward its stated objective of fostering a system of "collective security" in Europe. Nevertheless, there is little evidence to suggest that failure to achieve these maximal goals has led the Soviets to rethink their objectives or lower their expectations. aAlso available on the internet via WWW in PDF format. aDescription based on print version record. 0aArms controlzEurope. 0aEuropexForeign relationszSoviet Union. 0aSoviet UnionxForeign relationsy1975-1985. 0aSoviet UnionxForeign relationszEurope. 0aSoviet UnionxMilitary policy.2 aProject Air Force (U.S.)2 aRand Corporation.1 aUnited States.bAir Force.41yOnline Accessuhttp://www.rand.org/pubs/reports/R3310/
