This timely book examines postcommunist developments in Russia and Europe, emphasizing foreign and security policies and their domestic linkages. Comparing how different countries responded to the end of the cold war, the contributors assess the prospects for further regime change from democracies to hybrid systems and the implications for the EU.
This timely book examines post-communist developments in Russia, central Europe, and the Balkans, emphasizing foreign and security policies and their domestic linkages. Framed around the concepts of globalization and regime change, the rich set of case studies traces the repercussions for politicians and institutions forced to adjust to the disappearance of the ?East? from the cold war?s East-West polarity. The contributors explore how each country has grappled with such questions as how to change from one party to many, how to create viable market economies, and how to restructure security alliances. They conclude by considering the prospects for further regime change from democracies to hybrid systems and the implications for the future of the European Union.
This important book by some of the best scholars in the field will be an essential read for all those who wish to better understand this crucial but long-neglected part of Europe.
