by James William Derleth
Category: History

This one-of-a-kind book gives readers a general overture to the regions of Russia, Bulgaria, Hungary, and Poland. It helps them realize why states which shared a mutual political legacy for 45 years can be so different today. In addition, it helps readers draw comparative conclusions to determine what is universal and what is incidental. This broad, yet detailed, comparative study provides insights into the factors which have affected the economic, political, and social development in Central and Eastern Europe's socialist states since the fall of the Berlin Wall. Suitable for those interested in an Introduction to Comparative Politics, Global Issues, Central and Eastern European Comparative Politics, and Politics of Post-Communism.
