Offering a single, coherent framework of the political, economic,
and social phenomena that characterize post-communist regimes, this
is the most comprehensive work on the subject to date. Focusing on
Central Europe, the post-Soviet countries and China, the study
provides a systematic mapping of possible post-communist
trajectories. At exploring the structural foundations of
post-communist regime development, the work discusses the types of
state, with an emphasis on informality and patronalism; the variety
of actors in the political, economic, and communal spheres; the
ways autocrats neutralize media, elections, etc. The analysis
embraces the color revolutions of civil resistance (as in Georgia
and in Ukraine) and the defensive mechanisms of democracy and
autocracy; the evolution of corruption and the workings of
"relational economy"; an analysis of China as "market-exploiting
dictatorship"; the sociology of "clientage society"; and the
instrumental use of ideology, with an emphasis on populism. Beyond
a cataloguing of phenomena-actors, institutions, and dynamics of
post-communist democracies, autocracies, and dictatorships-Magyar
and Madlovics also conceptualize everything as building blocks to a
larger, coherent structure: a new language for post-communist
regimes. While being the most definitive book on the topic, the
book is nevertheless written in an accessible style suitable for
both beginners who wish to understand the logic of post-communism
and scholars who are interested in original contributions to
comparative regime theory. The book is equipped with QR codes that
link to www.postcommunistregimes.com, which contains interactive,
3D supplementary material for teaching.
