description: Crawford (political science, Charles U., Prague) evaluates the problems faced by the former East European bloc countries during the first six years of their transition (1990 to 1996) from centrally-planned, one-party communist states within the Soviet sphere of interest to free-market, liberal democracies on the verge of joining both NATO and the European Union. Crawford explains the chaos of the period and the emergence of a type of post-communist stability by the mid-1990s, based on his experience of living and working in the region during the period of transition. 5x8".
