Developments in Central and East European Politics 4

Developments in Central and East European Politics 4 brings together specially commissioned chapters by a team of leading international scholars focusing on the key features of the political systems that have emerged following the transition to postcommunist rule and the enlargement of the European Union. Full attention is given to the pattern of events in individual nations, but the main emphasis is on the framework of politics across the region - constitutions, leaderships, parliaments, parties and electoral systems - and the process of politics, including political participation, civil society, economic change, and the quality of democratic government within and beyond the region.

Developments in Central and East European Politics 3

East and Central Europe has experienced dramatic changes since the collapse of communism. This volume brings together specially commissioned chapters by leading authorities to provide a systematic assessment of the continuing evolution of politics and governance across a highly diverse region. As well as chapters on the major countries, there are cross-cutting assessments of constitutional issues, executive leadership, parties and elections and public policy, and a conclusion analysing patterns of democratization in a broader comparative context.

History

Russia

A concise account of the breakdown of communist rule in Poland, Hungary and Czechoslovakia and a comparative analysis of their transition to pluralist democratic politics and market economies. A major theme is the linkage of politics and economics: the book shows how both the failure of economic reforms in Poland and Hungary, and the resistance to economic reform contributed to undermining the communist monopoly of power, and how the new politics of multi-party pluralism of the post-communist era interact with the unprecedented task of radical economic transformation. An appendix summarizes the three countries' electoral systems.
