Abstract: | A retired senior CIA analyst assesses developments in conversion from military-related to civilian production in Russia's military-industrial sector over the period 1992-1994. Topics covered include recent economic performance of the military-industrial complex, the lack of congruence between “demilitarization” and “conversion,” reactions of the defense plant workforce and management to conversion, and the outlook for the machine-building sector over the near future. Although the focus of the paper is the military-industrial complex per se, the analysis also applies to Russian machine-building. 7 tables, 67 references. |
