Despite widespread hopes for the development of vigorous democratic political systems and vibrant market economies, the outcomes of a quarter century of post-communist transition in the countries of the former communist bloc in Eurasia have been widely variant. Some have matched these hopes, including becoming full members of the EU; others have fallen far short, with political and economic systems little changed from the communist era. This collection, with an internationally respected list of contributors, addresses some of the pressing issues in political science and transition studies, ranging from theoretical overviews to the more specific nitty-gritty of contemporary politics. 000779551 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (viewed February 21, 2017). 000779551 651_0 $$aEurope, Eastern$$xHistory$$y1989- 000779551 651_0 $$aEurope, Eastern$$xPolitics and government$$y1989- 000779551 651_0 $$aEurope, Eastern$$xEconomic conditions$$y1989- 000779551 651_0 $$aFormer Soviet republics$$xPolitics and government. 000779551 651_0 $$aFormer Soviet republics$$xEconomic conditions. 000779551 7001_ $$aFish, M.
