Communism in Transition : The End of the Soviet Empires

Omtale

Communism in Transition (1993) examines the mainstays of Communist ideology, and goes on to look at the collapse of Communism in the Soviet Union, and in Eastern Europe. It also analyses Asian and Latin American Communist systems and their challenges to the non-Communist world, and concludes by evaluating the democratic revolutions in the former Soviet Union and in Eastern Europe, their possible effect on other Communist states, why the revolutions surprised Western pundits, and the implications of these events for world peace.
