Kann. The author reworks Kann's theory to analyse post-communist transformations in the Baltic region. The book argues that the purpose of modern social restorations is to make restoration societies safe against a recurrence of revolution. There were two waves of modern social restorations: post-Napoleonic and post-communist. Most post-Napoleonic restorations were brief, because they failed to economically and socially outperform the pre-revolutionary and post-revolutionary systems. It considers Baltic restorations as laboratory cases of second-wave modern social restorations, because they encompass a triple restoration of the nation-state, capitalism, and democracy. The book assesses the performance success of Baltic restorations by comparing economic and social progress of Baltic countries during the periods of original independence (19181940), foreign-imposed state socialism (19401990), and restored independence (since 1990). It then elaborates the criteria to assess the ultimate performance success of these restorations by 2040, when restored Baltic states may endure longer than their ancestors in 19181940 and the complete foreign occupations era (19401990). The author, an expert in historical sociology, uses extensive historical-statistical data in cross-time comparisons to develop his analysis and create future projections. This book is of wide interest to sociologists, social demographers, political scientists, and economists studying the Baltic region. 001484809 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed December 11, 2023). 001484809 651_0 $$aBaltic States$$xPolitics and government$$y1940-1991. 001484809 651_0 $$aBaltic States$$xPolitics and government$$y1991- 001484809 651_0 $$aBaltic States$$xHistory$$y1940-1991. 001484809 651_0 $$aBaltic States$$xHistory$$y1991- 001484809 651_6 $$aPays baltes$$xPolitique et gouvernement$$y1940-1991. 001484809 651_6 $$aPays baltes$$xPolitique et gouvernement$$y1991- 001484809 651_6 $$aPays baltes$$xHistoire$$y1940-1991. 001484809 651_6 $$aPays baltes$$xHistoire$$y1991- 001484809 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001484809 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z303139495X$$z9783031394959$$z3031394984$$z9783031394980$$w(OCoLC)1386700447 001484809 852__ $$bebk 001484809 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-39496-6$$zOnline Access$$91397441.2 001484809 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1484809$$pGLOBAL_SET 001484809 980__ $$aBIB 001484809 980__ $$aEBOOK 001484809 982__ $$aEbook 001484809 983__ $$aOnline 001484809 994__ $$a92$$bISE
