Theorizing Transition - The Political Economy of Post-Communist Transformations (Hardcover)

How do we understand the dramatic changes that are transforming the societies of eastern and central Europe and those "peripheral" countries witnessing a shift to the market? This text examines this and other questions through a variety of studies of the complex political, economic and social transformations occurring in eastern Europe and Central Europe. Contributions from geographers, economists, sociologists, feminists, planners and scholars of international studies unravel the complexity of change in post-communism by examining: theoretical perspectives on transition, industrial and regional restructuring, agrarian change, de-collectivisation and rural struggles, and gendered transformations in a variety of eastern and central European contexts. Examining transformations using a variety of perspectives from critical political economy and cultural theory, the work provides both an empirical map of the dimensions of post-Communism and raises important theoretical issues about how we interpret these changes.
