Center for the Study of Force and Diplomacy Talk: Christopher Miller, "Gorbachev's Asian Pivot: Lessons from the Soviet Collapse"

Date: 
4/7/2015 3:30pm - 5:00pm

Why did the Soviet Union collapse? The dissolution of the USSR is particularly puzzling because China -- also a Marxist-Leninist autocracy -- managed to ditch its centrally-planned economy while maintaining an authoritarian political structure. Christopher Miller’s research in Soviet archives has found that Soviet officials closely followed Chinese policy, and directly copied many Chinese reforms.
