Contrary to dominant narratives which portray East European
politics as a pendulum swing between democracy and
authoritarianism, conventionally defined in terms of an ahistorical
cultural geography of East vs. West, this book analyzes
post-socialist transformation as part of the long downturn of the
post-WWII global capitalist cycle. Based on an empirical comparison
of two countries with significantly different political regimes
throughout the period, Hungary and Romania, this study shows how
different constellations of successive late socialist and
post-socialist regimes have managed internal and external class
relations throughout the same global crisis process, from very
similar positions of semi-peripheral, post-socialist systemic
integration. Within this context, the book follows the role of
social movements since the 1970s, paying attention both to the
level of differences between local integration regimes and to the
level of structural similarities of global integration. The
analysis maintains a special focus on movements' class composition
and inter-class relationships and the specific position of
middle-class politics in movements.
