Defense Conversion: A Critical East-West Experiment - Hardcover
To effectively compete with the other major economic powers, the United States and the countries of the Former Soviet Union (FSU) must convert their now excessive military resources to productive civilian use and redirect and deploy massive technological and production capabilities, and large numbers of people. The book shows how proven systems analysis techniques can be applied to the problems of capital depletion in the USA and FSU. It also provides case studies by American, Russian and Ukrainian experts on conditions in the FSU as well as discussions of the successes and failures of the first defense conversion efforts.

From Book News:
Presents an effort to examine and develop effective defense conversion methods, particularly for the US and the former Soviet Union, both of which are suffering from a half-century of investment in military facilities, hardware, and personnel, resulting in severe capital depletion problems. The volume consists of contributions by speakers at three conferences (culminating in a specialized symposium on defense conversion in February 1994), plus several contributions invited to broaden the perspective. Russian/Ukrainian perspectives are introduced by Victor Chernyy of Ukraine's Bureau of Defense Conversion. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
