Including essays by several leading contemporary specialists, this volume addresses the extent to which postcommunist societies have successfully institutionalized democratic politics and capitalist market economies over a decade after the collapse of the Soviet bloc. As the first volume to apply a systematic "comparative historical" approach to the subject matter, it reveals the precise social, cultural, and geographical constraints and opportunities facing postcommunist reformers.

- Covers political/economic change in both East-Central Europe and Russia; others only on either Eastern Europe or former Soviet Union
- Utilizes a consistent theoretical approach
