- Summary:
- East Central European Politics Today is the first truly comparative volume to be written about the problems faced by the former East European bloc countries during the first six years of their transition from centrally planned, one-party Communist states to free market, liberal democracies on the verge of joining both NATO and the European Union. Keith Crawford chronicles and explains the chaos of those years and the emergence of a type of post-communist stability by the 1990s based on his personal experience of living and working in the region during the whole period of that transition. A lucid and enlightening introduction to a region that is little understood in Western Europe and the US, Keith Crawford's volume is essential reading for anyone interested in the politics of East Central Europe.
