Binding Type: Paperback Published: May 2003 Annotation: Ten years after the breakup of the Soviet Union In this collection, top scholars of Soviet and post-Soviet studies convene to explore communism's aftermath. They consider state building and constitutionalism; the transition to market capitalism and democracy across Eastern Europe; the political development of Muslim states; the complex and differential developments of electoral systems; the risks and opportunities of nationalism; and new political and economic activities in Russia, from corruption to contracts. Editor Donald Kelley introduces the volume with a synthesis of the theoretical and empirical findings of the volume, and his brief chapter introductions place each contribution in relation to the other essays and to larger debates on democratization.
