{"product_id":"democracy-and-post-communism-graeme-gill-9780415272056","title":"Democracy and Post-Communism: Political Change in the Post-Communist World","description":"The collapse of communism was widely heralded as the dawn of democracy across the former Soviet region. However, the political outcome has been much less uniform. The post-communist states have developed political systems from democracy to dictatorship. Using examples and empirical data collected from twenty-six former Soviet states, Graeme Gill provides a detailed comparative analysis of the core issues of regime change, the creation of civil society, economic reform and the changing nature of post-communism. Within these individual cases, it becomes clear that political outcomes have not been arbitrary, but directly reflect the circumstances surrounding the birth of independence. Students of Comparative Politics, International Relations and Russian and Post-Soviet Studies should find this book essential reading.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Graeme Gill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 041527205X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415272056\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/06\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.76h x 6.36w x 0.81d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2002 pg. 545","brand":"Graeme Gill","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086581346559,"sku":"9780415272056","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4bfc4c27-7a96-4b3b-8f15-4d9eca66c67a.jpg?v=1769095504","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/democracy-and-post-communism-graeme-gill-9780415272056","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
