- Summary
- "World Order after Leninism brings together a distinguished group of scholars to examine the origins and evolution of world communism and explore how its legacies have shaped the post-Cold War world order. The lessons of Leninism continue to exert a strong influence in contemporary foreign affairs - most visibly in the post-communist states of the former Soviet Union, but also in many other European, Asian, and developing states balancing authoritarian impulses against the pressures of globalization, free markets, and democratic possibilities."--BOOK JACKET.
