Table of ContentsReviewsIn this admirably readable study, Kate Graney explores post-Soviet states and societies through the lens of the European cultural and political project. The result is a wide-ranging tour of the region's relationship to Europe that will be of great interest to scholars and students alike. -Mark R. Beissinger, Princeton University Katherine Graney has accomplished something that was very needed in the field of post-Soviet studies: an accessibly written, comprehensive, and analytically sophisticated history of the post-Soviet region told from the perspective of the Europeanization processes in the region since the collapse of the Soviet Union. The book provides relevant historical context and integrates the global, regional, and national-level processes to make sense of Europe's contemporary crisis. -Gulnaz Sharafutdinova, King's College London Graney makes a major contribution in examining the political and cultural transformations in Eurasia since the fall of the USSR in terms of Europeanization. This is a sweeping analysis that brings together theory and case studies in a compelling interpretive synthesis. It is written in an engaging and readable style, and it should be essential reading for academics and practitioners seeking to understand the intricate relationship between domestic political trajectories in Russia and the former Soviet Union and their relations with the West. -J.

Paul Goode, University of Bath """There are very few books that attempt to systematically compare the political trajectory of all 15 post-soviet states since the revolutions of 1989. Graney, however, seeks to fill this massive gap in the literature. She focuses on the theme of Europeanization, since the question of drawing closer to Europe has been central to regional foreign and security policies and to domestic national identity debates... Although economic policy is not directly addressed, apart from some tables on trade flows, Graney's assessment is informed and insightful throughout. This volume is a singular achievement in covering social, political, and security issues across all 15 former Soviet republics. Both theoretically informed and empirically grounded, it will be invaluable to those teaching post-Soviet politics and for courses on European politics concerned with the EU's eastern policy."" -- Peter Rutland, CHOICE ""In this admirably readable study, Kate Graney explores post-Soviet states and societies through the lens of the European cultural and political project.
