Crises in the Post-Soviet Space - From the dissolution of the Soviet Union to the conflict in Ukraine (Paperback): Felix... Crises in the Post-Soviet Space - From the dissolution of the Soviet Union to the conflict in Ukraine (Paperback)

R1,241 Discovery Miles 12 410 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The breakup of the Soviet Union led to the creation of new states and territorial conflicts of different levels of intensity. Scrutinising the post-Soviet period, this volume offers explanations for both the frequency and the intensity of crises in the region. This book argues that the societies which emerged in the post-Soviet space share characteristic features, and that the instability and conflict-prone nature of the Soviet Union's successor states can be explained by analysing the post-independence history of the region and linking it to the emergence of overlapping economic, political and violent crises (called 'Intersecting Crises Phenomena'). Transformation itself is shown to be a decisive process and, while acknowledging specific national and regional characteristics and differences, the authors demonstrate its shared impact. This comparison across countries and over time presents patterns of crisis and crisis management common to all the successor states. It disentangles the process, highlighting the multifaceted features of post-Soviet crises and draws upon the concept of crisis to determine the tipping points of post-Soviet development. Especially useful for scholars and students dealing with the Soviet successor states, this book should also prove interesting to those researching in the fields of communist and post-communist Studies, Eurasian politics, international relations and peace and conflict studies.

Der vorliegende Sammelband leistet einen interdisziplinaren Beitrag zur Osteuropaforschung und analysiert vergangene sowie aktuelle Prozesse in der Region. Die Beitrage schlagen einen Bogen vom Staatssozialismus uber die Transformation hin zum Nachdenken uber alternative Entwicklungen. Was war der Staatssozialismus? Wie pragte der Transformationsprozess die Staaten Mittel- und Osteuropas? Welche emanzipativen Potenziale ermoglichten diese Prozesse? Angesichts aktueller Entwicklungen erscheint eine intensive Beschaftigung mit der Region wichtiger denn je. Das Buch ist zugleich die Festschrift zu Ehren von Prof. Dr. Dieter Segert, der die Osteuropaforschung durch seine vielschichtigen Zugange gepragt hat.

Demokratien sind aufgrund ihrer voraussetzungsvollen partizipativen Entscheidungsstrukturen in besonderer Weise durch Korruption gefahrdet. Die Beeintrachtigung der Demokratie erfolgt nicht nur faktisch als Handlung, sondern ebenso durch eine spezifische Art der oeffentlichen Auseinandersetzung damit, etwa in Printmedien, und dem Umgang der politischen Elite mit Antikorruptionsregelungen. Tina Olteanu untersucht diese demokratiegefahrdenden Aspekte des Umgangs mit Korruption fur die Lander OEsterreich und Rumanien empirisch und verortet sie demokratietheoretisch.
