This volume brings together a distinguished group of scholars
working on Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union to examine in
depth three waves of democratic change that took place in eleven
different former Communist nations. Its essays draw important
conclusions about the rise, development, and breakdown of both
democracy and dictatorship in each country and together provide a
rich comparative perspective on the post-Communist world. The first
democratic wave to sweep this region encompasses the rapid rise of
democratic regimes from 1989 to 1992 from the ashes of Communism
and Communist states. The second wave arose with accession to the
European Union (from 2004 to 2007) and the third, with the
electoral defeat of dictators (1996 to 2005) in Croatia, Serbia,
Georgia, and Ukraine. Although these three waves took place in
different countries and involved different strategies, they
nonetheless shared several overarching commonalities. International
factors played a role in all three waves, as did citizens demanding
political change. Further, each wave revealed not just victorious
democrats but also highly resourceful authoritarians. The authors
of each chapter in this volume examine both internal and external
dimensions of both democratic success and failure.
