In Search Of Pluralism: Soviet And Post-soviet Politics (John M. Olin Critical Issues Series)

Building on traditional approaches to Western social-science theory and older models of Soviet politics, the contributors to this book review recent changes in the former USSR and assess the prospects for a move to democratic pluralism. They focus on a range of issues, including the first competitive elections, the new legislative bodies at state and local levels, and the newly-freed press, exploring the extend to which these institutions can be described as decocratic or pluralistic.
