Over the last decade the "transition paradigm", which is based on
the conviction that authoritarian political systems would over time
necessarily develop into democracies, has been subjected to serious
criticism. The complex political and societal developments in the
post-Soviet region in particular have exposed flaws in the claim
that a shift from authoritarianism to democracy is inevitable.
Using case studies from the post-Soviet region, a broad range of
international contributors present an original and innovative
contribution to the debate. They explore the character of
post-Soviet regimes and review the political transformations they
have experienced since the end of the Cold War. Through a
combination of theoretical approaches and detailed, empirical
analysis the authors highlight the difficulties and benefits of
applying the concepts of hybrid regimes, competitive
authoritarianism and neopatrimonialism to the countries of the
post-Soviet space. Through this in-depth approach the authors
demonstrate how "Presidents, Oligarchs and Bureaucrats" in the
region lead their countries, examine the sources of their
legitimacy and their relationship to the societies they govern and
advance the general theoretical debate on regime change and
transition paths.
