{"product_id":"transition-to-democracy-in-eastern-barbara-wejnert-9780275972349","title":"Transition to Democracy in Eastern Europe and Russia: Impact on Politics, Economy and Culture","description":"\u003cp\u003eUsing examples of democratic changes in former Communist states, Wejnert provides a dual-level conceptual framework that concentrates on objectification of the fundamental and unique roles of various mechanisms and components of transition. The first of these two levels is an integrative framework of the diverse social processes of transition. Here, the essays included examine the effects of global and domestic factors, and diffusion on the articulation of transition from communism. The second level is a similarly integrative framework of the interrelation of three distinct social entities of economy, polity, and culture as recorded at a time-point when the polity-economy-culture components of the transition are inserted into the processes of social change. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis collection brings together Eastern European, Russian, and American scholars as well as prominent political figures from democratically elected East European governments. Included are Jan Kavan, Vice-Prime Minister of the Czech Republic and Grzegorz Kolodko of Poland, the designer of the post-communist therapy economic plan. The theoretical and pratically oriented papers are enriched by the broad perspective of the book, making it particularly useful to scholars, students, and researchers of Eastern Europe and Russia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barbara Wejnert\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0275972348\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780275972349\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/30\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.42h x 6.42w x 1.31d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2002 pg. 178","brand":"Barbara Wejnert","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47001121915135,"sku":"9780275972349","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3062b1ff-0420-467c-893c-fe5b6ea82e61.jpg?v=1751600129","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/transition-to-democracy-in-eastern-barbara-wejnert-9780275972349","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
