Summary

"Will democracy survive in the post-Communist states of East-Central Europe and Russia? The book seeks to answer this great question by identifying the factors associated with the success and failure of previous attempts at democratization in Europe. A historical and comparative approach, focusing on a series of important case studies, illuminates the issues at stake."--Jacket.
