How have the 27 countries that emerged from communist rule between
1989 and 1992 fared since then? This book offers distinctive
perspectives, by four leading students of politics, on the single
most important social, political, and economic development of the
last decade of the twentieth century. Stephen Holmes, of the
University of Chicago, emphasizes the importance of state-building.
He interprets the pathologies of post-communism as being rooted in
the weakness of governments across post-communist Eurasia. Lord
Skidelsky, of Great Britain's Social Market Foundation, sees the
collapse of communism and its aftermath as part of the worldwide
struggle to reduce the size of the state. John Mueller, of the
University of Rochester, writes that the post-communist transition
to capitalism and democracy, as these terms are properly
understood, is already complete. Charles Gati, of the Johns Hopkins
School of Advanced International Studies, argues the contrary: not
only is democracy not firmly established in most of the countries
from Berlin to Vladivostok, but its prospects in many of them are
poor. In his introduction, Michael Mandelbaum offers a comparative
assessment of the different countries that make up the world of
post-communism.
