Final answer:

Gorbachev introduced glasnost and perestroika in the USSR to address economic challenges and promote political openness.


Explanation:

Gorbachev implemented policies like glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring) in the USSR during the 1980s due to the country's inability to keep up with American military spending. Glasnost allowed freedom of speech and criticism of the government, while perestroika aimed to reform the state-run economy and introduce market-like elements.
