Subject:

Description:

This course examines the establishment, functioning, and collapse of the system of rule developed in the Soviet Union and exported worldwide. Focusing on Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), we analyze the ways that general patterns of historical development, communist rule, and transition from communism interact with local conditions to produce widely different "transition path-ways."We seek to understand the causes of different transition outcomes and to critically examine the costs and benefits of post-communist transition. Offered in alternate years.
