Abstract : In four years as leaders of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev has introduced radical changes in the theory and practices of Soviet foreign policy. In his self-proclaimed 'new political thinking,' he has down-played the importance of class struggle in international relations, emphasized 'mutual security' and the role of politics in resolving disputes, and stressed the interdependent nature of the contemporary world.
