Communism in Eastern Europe is in crisis. Its dimensions are social
and economic; its manifestation is political. This volume, a
collection of essays by leading authorities, describes the symptoms
of the crisis, diagnoses the causes of the malady, and offers
alternative scenarios for therapy. A unique dimension of this
collection is its avoidance of one-dimensional explanations. The
contributors approach the subject from very different angles, and
start from very distinct sociopolitical premises. The volume
includes original accounts of unexplored aspects of East European
communism as well as classic interpretations of the economic crisis
and social stagnation that characterize the area. Contributions not
only examine the sociopolitical behavior of the ruling apparatus,
but also analyze its strategies, political culture, and the
opposition. Both the professional and the general reader seeking
more information about Eastern Europe will find this volume an
extensive, in-depth portrait of the current situation in what many
observers predict may develop into the major area of tension in
post-World War II Europe.
