Perestroika is the Russian term for ‘restructuring’. This term was introduced, along with Glasnost, as a policy in the Soviet Union in the late 1980s by [[Gorbachev, Mikhail|Mikhail Gorbachev]], who called for reformation within the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU). Perestroika allowed more independent actions from various ministries within the CPSU as well as introducing some market-like reforms. Perestroika also attempted to make [[Socialism|socialism]] show more economic efficiency in order to meet the needs of the Soviet consumer. Ultimately it has been said to have, along with [[Glasnost]], exacerbated existing political, social and economic tensions within the Soviet Union in the late 1980s.
