First published in 1999, this volume is the first full length study
of one of the most important political institutions of the
erstwhile Soviet political system - the Central Committee of the
Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU). The originality of this
work lies in its main argument that the central reform during
Perestroika was that of the Party and the State - a reform which
ultimately resulted in the CPSU and its institutions, the Central
Committee being one of the most vital among them - firstly,
surrendering the monopoly over political power and control over the
instrumentalities of the State and secondly, systematically
de-institutionalising and dismantling the formidable Soviet
political system. The seeds of transformation and the shape of
politico-economic and socio-cultural systems that emerged in
successor States were laid down during the Soviet era - in
particular during Perestroika itself. The continuity is, therefore,
as striking as the change - if not more so.
