The Soviet Union encompassed dozens of nationalities and
ethnicities, and in the wake of its collapse, the politics of
ethnicity within its former borders and throughout Eastern Europe
have undergone tremendous changes. In this book, Zoltan Barany and
Robert G. Moser bring together eminent scholars whose theoretically
diverse and empirically rich research examines various facets of
ethnicity in postcommunist Europe and Eurasia: ethnic identity and
culture, mobilization, parties and voting, conflict, and ethnic
migration. The contributors consider how ethnic forces have
influenced political outcomes that range from voting to violence
and protest mobilization to language acquisition. Conversely, each
chapter demonstrates that political behavior itself has an impact
on the forms and strength of ethnic identity.
Those who study Romania must confront the theoretical challenges
posed by a country that is undergoing a profound transformation
from a repressive totalitarianism regime to a hazy and as yet
unrealized democratic government. The most comprehensive survey of
Romanian politics and society ever published abroad, this volume
represents an effort to collect and analyze data on the complex
problems of Romania's past and its transition into an uncertain
future. Henry F. Carey has brought together the world's leading
scholars on Romania to discuss key aspects of the country's sites
of conflict in a groundbreaking work that includes six resident
Romanian authors who rarely publish in the global academic press.
Romania since 1989 is must for anyone seeking either a basic
understanding or a sophisticated analysis of contemporary Romania.
The book is also an invaluable resource for those who study the
economies and governments of other countries in transition, as it
presents an ideal case study with lessons that can be applied
elsewhere.
