The massive changes that have taken place in Eastern Europe and in the former Soviet Union since the collapse of Communism have given rise to a vast literature on post-communist transformation produced by numerous East European scholars as well as by an astonishingly large number of westerns scholars, sociologists, economists, political scientists, constitutionalists, social philosophers, historians, and also politicians, writers, journalists etc. With contributions by a number of distinguished social scientists, this volume provides a fresh look on a variety of topics-many of them neglected or under-researched in previous research-informing important conceptual, theoretical and methodological insights on post-communist transition and more generally, on social
Revolutionary change.
