兰德公司是美国最重要的以军事为主的综合性战略研究机构,它与美国军方、特别是美国空军有着密切联系。兰德公司成立后,对苏联开展了大量研究工作,特别在20世纪50和60年代,是兰德公司苏联研究的“黄金时期”。兰德公司的苏联研究对美国空军和美国政府产生了重要影响,直接影响到了美国高层战略决策的制定。然而,对该领域的专门性研究著作还十分有限。本文通过对兰德公司、美国空军和美国政府大量相关材料的研读和分析,以及对相关人员的回忆录、报道等内容的利用,采用史料分析和书评研读的研究方法,并辅之以音频、视频资料,拟对兰德公司的苏联研究情况进行一个全景式、系统性的描述,并进一步探求兰德公司与美国空军及官方高层的潜在关系,以资学界同仁做一参考。
RAND Corporation is the most important military-oriented comprehensive strategic research institute in the United States. It has close ties with the U.S. military, especially the U.S. Air Force. After the establishment of the Rand Company, a great deal of research was carried out on the Soviet Union, especially during the “Golden Age” of the research on the Soviet Union by the Rand Corporation in the 1950s and 1960s. The RAND study of the Soviet Union has had a significant impact on the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. government and has a direct impact on the formulation of high-level strategic decisions in the United States. However, there are still only a limited number of specialized studies in this field. Based on the research and analysis of a great deal of material related to Rand Corporation, the USAF and the U.S. government, as well as the utilization of memoir and report of related personnel, this paper adopts the research methods of historical analysis and book review, supplemented by audio and video Data, it is proposed to conduct a panoramic and systematic description of Rand’s research on the Soviet Union and to further explore the potential relationship between the Rand Corporation and the U.S. Air Force and the official high-level officials so as to provide a reference for the academic circles.
