This paper reports on a symposium that examined the changes in Soviet party and governmental policymaking on two levels: (1) the fundamental level of who is in charge; and (2) the depth of change in relations among the party, the executive, and the republics. The panelists considered an actual or an incipient revolution, extending to all levels of authority in the Soviet Union. They also discussed the implications of these changes for the future of Soviet society, East-West relations, and U.S. policy.
