Abstract
The 19th Conference of the Communist Party, convened in Moscow on June 28, 1988, is analyzed by eight Western observers. The discussion covers events leading up to the conference, such as the election of delegates, General Secretary Gorbachev's objectives, his influence and the significance of his compromises. It then proceeds to analyze the agenda and offers an overview with a focus on organization, the invigorated Soviets and selected political and economic implications. In addition to Gorbachev's opening address, special attention is given to the speech by Academician Abalkin and to Gorbachev's cryptic reaction to Abalkin's exposition of the state of economic affairs.
