Description
The failure of the old, centralised command-economy Soviet state is now clear and universally recognised. This is both an appraisal of the legal and constitutional climate in which the crisis is being enacted, and a cool, undogmatic review of the economic costs and benefits of the present system, and of the more likely reforms, to the Soviet republics. Contributors from several republics, particularly the Baltics, Western Europe and North America explore the options for change and describe the obstacles in the patch of separation, and of the formation of a new, looser union.
