Abstract	The Stanley Foundation annually assembles a panel of experts from the public and private sectors to assess specific foreign policy issues and to recommend future direction. The participants in the round-table discussion summarized in this report agreed that the Soviets are moving from a Marxist-Leninist version of socialism to a broader version, and that Gorbachev appears to be ready to bring in a new form of Soviet socialism, in which both the selfless and self-interested urges of people are taken into account. The minimum requirements for this change were identified and the discussion that followed is reported under the following headings: (1) economic aspects of property rights; (2) property relations in a reformed Soviet economy; (3) legal difficulties relating to reform efforts; (4) popular attitudes and related barriers to reform; and (5) policy implications. There exists no model of transition on how to move from a centrally planned economy to a system with aspects of a free market economy. It was agreed that the United States can assist with advice on the institutions of a market economy, on technical expertise, with educational exchanges, and through increased economic relations with the Soviets. The report also includes the keynote address by Richard H. Stanley, in which the conferees were asked to consider two underlying issues in their deliberations: (1) the changing national power relationships, including the relative erosion of U.S. power; and (2) the profound global systemic changes that are rendering old policy assumptions obsolete.
