The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 ushered in a period of
democratization and market reform extending across the East-Central
European region, with one important exception: Belarus. Ironically,
Belarus's fledgling attempts at democracy produced a leader who has
suspended the post-Soviet constitution and its institutions and
created a personal dictatorship. Located in the center of the
European continent, Belarus lies at the crossroads of an expanded
NATO and the Russian "near abroad." This fact underlines the
importance of Belarus to European security and to East-West
relations.
To discuss developments in Belarus, an international group of
scholars and policymakers gathered at Harvard University in 1999.
The broad spectrum of issues covered is examined in this volume,
providing an understanding of Belarus today and its prospects for
the future.
