Overview

Taking stock of the first decade of the transformation in the former Soviet bloc, this timely book explores the legacies of state socialism and attempts by once-communist countries to move toward a democratic, market-oriented system. Leading international scholars consider the ways traditions interact with other factors - both domestic and foreign - to influence the course of social, political, and economic change. With its blend of theory and case studies and its clear narrative, this book will be a valuable text for students of transition, Russian politics, and the transformation of Eastern Europe.

If you are looking for a resource to guide you through economic and social transformations in the post-Soviet years, this might just be the book for you. Journal Of Political and Military Sociology A distinguished book. Not only do the contributors further develop important conceptualizations about transitions from authoritarianism and postauthoritarian restructuring, but [they] also highlight important quandaries. The Legacy of State Socialism and the Future of Transformation should be of interest not just to specialists on Eastern Europe and Eurasia, but to those interested in democratization more generally, too.
