Eastern Europe. Suitable for students from graduate level upwards

The Postcommunist World in the Twenty-First Century presents
studies by senior scholars and practitioners that are highly
relevant to contemporary political challenges. The democratic
vision that accompanied the collapse of communist regimes in the
Soviet Union and East Central Europe has been replaced by a range
of authoritarian, semi-authoritarian and democratic regimes, and
growing division between Western and Russian influence. Russia's
invasion of Ukraine has led to renewed tensions and international
crisis. China, which presents major challenges to the US, Europe,
and the global order, has emerged as a critical actor in the
international conflict. The need to understand the internal
dynamics and international behavior of communist and authoritarian
regimes is more urgent at this time. The expertise provided by the
volume's contributors is especially timely, offering new insights
into the past and contemporary politics of these states, the
agendas driving their behavior, regimes' domestic strengths and
weaknesses, and the role of leaders' differing perceptions in
exacerbating international conflict. Practitioners demonstrate how
such knowledge can inform effective policy and ameliorative
efforts.
