The collapse of communist rule in the late 1980s set in motion a
process of radical political, social and economic change in the
former USSR and Central and Eastern Europe. Throughout the eastern
half of Europe and beyond, among the member countries of the
Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) the early 1990s have been
characterized by attempts to move away from the legacy of the
communist era towards new democratic political structures, market
economies and societies based on the rule of law. The challenges
and dilemmas posed by these developments to the stability of the
region are the central focus of Central and Eastern Europe: The
Challenge of Transition. Recognizing the need to adopt an approach
doing justice to what is unquestionably a momentous process of
change, the book focuses on the security implications of continuing
developments in the political, social, economic and military
spheres. The heart of the book is a set of case studies examining
in detail the situation in a number of Central and East European
countries: Hungary, Poland, the Czech and Slovak republics, Russia,
Ukraine and Belarus, the Baltic states, the Balkan region and in
the former Yugoslavia. By way of introduction to the case studies,
a further section of essays assesses developments in Central and
Eastern Europe from a broader thematic perspective, focusing on
such important issues as the role of European organizations in the
ethnic conflicts currently much in evidence throughout the region.
