Several of these states are understudied in political science and their inclusion in this volume helps us develop a better understanding of the experiences, issues, and problems of post-communism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis edited collection focuses on a significant and timely, yet largely neglected, topic—the role of international factors in explaining authoritarian persistence.
