Framed around the concepts of globalization and regime change, the rich set of case studies traces the repercussions for politicians and institutions forced to adjust to the disappearance of the “East” from the cold war’s East-West polarity. The contributors explore how each country has grappled with such questions as how to change from one party to many, how to create viable market economies, and how to restructure security alliances. They conclude by considering the prospects for further regime change from democracies to hybrid systems and the implications for the future of the European Union.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis important book by some of the best scholars in the field will be an essential read for all those who wish to better understand this crucial but long-neglected part of Europe. -- M. Mark Stolarik, University of Ottawa\u003cbr\u003eThe chapters in this volume provide a rich cabinet of studies analyzing how the people and governments of Russia and East Central Europe have reacted to the rapid and often-dramatic changes in their world since the end of the Cold War. Enormously useful both for its detailed case studies and its effective employment of notions of globalization, domestic and international regime change, and what the editors term the ‘codependency’ of these phenomena. -- Ronald H.
