The face of Central and Eastern Europe has been dramatically
transformed since the collapse of communism. The region faces new
challenges, including the needs to find a balance between effective
leadership and accountability and to reverse the economic decline
of the late communist years. Addressing these concerns and others,
Developments in Central and East European Politics 4 brings
together specially commissioned chapters by leading scholars from
both sides of the Atlantic. The chapters, all of which are new to
this edition, focus on key features of the political systems that
have emerged following the transition to postcommunist rule and the
enlargement of the European Union through 2006. Full attention is
given to the pattern of events in individual nations, but the main
emphasis is on the framework of politics across the
region--constitutions, leadership, parliaments, parties, and
electoral systems--and the process of politics, as it is revealed
in political participation, civil society, economic change, and the
quality of democratic government within and beyond the region.
Clearly written and well supported with references and suggestions
for further reading, Developments in Central and East European
Politics 4 is the ideal guide to the process of change in a group
of states that were formerly modeled on the Soviet Union but are
now a distinctive and varied presence within a continent that has
been redefining its boundaries, its values, its economic systems,
and its international allegiances. Contributors, Judy Batt, Dirk
Berg-Schlosser, Sarah Birch, Heather Grabbe, Tim Haughton,
