- W1513255620 abstract "The thesis undertakes an examination of certain Soviet problems which upon analysis serve to support the views of publicists such as Richard Nixon, Richard Pipes, Edward Luttwak, Paul Nitze, and Eugene Rostow. These experts argue that the Soviet Union is bent on a course of world hegemony. The objective of the thesis is to determine if the Soviet leadership is under lateral pressure to expand. Two propositions underline the broad theme of the thesis: that the Soviet Union is the de facto Russian empire, with the same concerns, i.e. stability and Russian domination; that real arms restraint on the part of the United States has given the Kremlin a window of opportunity in which to exploit its military superiority. The thesis is composed of chapters examining traditional influences on Soviet foreign behaviour, the place of the Soviet Union in the International State system, the internal problems of the USSR, the major external threat [Chinal to the Soviet Union, and a final chapter on Soviet Global strategy, tactics, and possible courses of action. The study may contribute to the understanding of motivating factors in Soviet foreign behaviour in the '80s, given its military superiority and consistent pattern of foreign behaviour, whether Tsarist or Soviet. It therefore follows that this study may also contribute to alerting those who refuse to accept that the United States and hence the West, is seriously vulnerable to probable Soviet foreign policy options in the early '80s. Int roduction Given the present global situation with its recurring crises and dislocations, there is a tendency on the part of some to view the global order as one out of control. This lack of control, or agreed upon rules of procedure and behaviour, is often considered to be the result either of a lack of clear foreign policy objectives on the part of certain major actors, or the result of the actors reacting willynilly to a series of so-called unforeseen crises. Hence, foreign behaviour is seen to be incrementalist in that it is seen as a reaction to problems as they arise rather than as the pursuit and fulfillment, over time, of a set of desired obj ectives. In opposition to the incrementalists we will argue that Soviet foreign policy and behaviour have been the result of certain concrete objectives—pursued over time and bridging both Tsarist and Soviet regimes. The pursuit of these objectives has been necessitated by a series of internal and external exigencies. Thus, Soviet foreign behaviour is largely an outcome of the reaction to these perceived exigencies on the part of Soviet elites. A good deal of international behaviour is then the result of not only one nation's interactions with others, but rather the result of behaviour patterns and attributes within the nation itself. J.
