Zusammenfassung:To analyze the prospects for Soviet policy in the Third World during the Gorbachev era, this paper traces the Soviet history of involvement with Third World countries since Stalin--involvement that has conditioned Soviet behavior to this day--and examines that behavior in the present world configuration. The author concludes that over the years many Soviet weaknesses have manifested themselves through Soviet Third World policy, and that recent setbacks have chastened the Soviet mood toward the Third World. However, the momentum of inherited policy interests seems to constrain Gorbachev's future options, so that Soviet language has changed much more than behavior.
