In this book, W.E. Mosse offers a view of the counterpart of the recent perestroika movement from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He examines the causes and the results of the reform movement that worked for change before 1914 - in particular the reforms associated with Tsar Alexander II, Witte and Stolypin. In the process he goes some way towards putting the reforms of the 1980s and 1990s into a historical perspective.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: The Background The Old Order \u003cb\u003ePart 1 - Aleksandr II\u003c\/b\u003e The \"Tsar Liberator\" Perils of Glasnost - The Failure of \"Liberal\" Autocracy \u003cb\u003ePart 2 - Loris-Melikov\u003c\/b\u003e The First Crisis of the Regime and the Failure of \"Liberal\" Bureaucracy Interlude - The Great Reaction \u003cb\u003ePart 3 - Perestroika in the Age of Imperialism\u003c\/b\u003e Witte's First Perestroika - An Appraisal Interim Balance \u003cb\u003ePart 4 - Perestroika under Stress\u003c\/b\u003e The Revolution of 1905 \"Time of Troubles\" - The Run-up Witte's Second Perestroika - The Imperial Duma Witte's Second Perestroika - Towards a New Regime \u003cb\u003ePart 5 - P.A.
