Abstract
This thesis considers the factors that influence a
Soviet decision to use naval power for intervention in third
world countries beyond their borders. A qualitative cost-benefit
analysis is described for general application and
several case studies are developed using "decision points"
that follow from the analysis. Operational definitions of
the physical assets available for use in an overseas power
projection are then offered and compared against the
requirements for levels of escalation suggested by decision
points that can be reasonably projected to occur.
