1989 signifies the collapse of Soviet communism and the end of the
Cold War, a moment generally recognized as a triumph for liberal
democracy and when capitalism became global. The Global 1989
challenges these ideas. An international group of prominent
scholars investigate the mixed, paradoxical and even contradictory
outcomes engendered by these events, unravelling the intricacies of
this important moment in world history. Although the political,
economic and cultural orders generated have, for the most part,
been an improvement on what was in place before, this has not
always been clear cut: 1989 has many meanings, many effects and
multiple trajectories. This volume leads the way in defining how
1989 can be assessed both in terms of its world historical impact
and in terms of its contribution to the shape of contemporary world
politics.
