About this book

The most comprehensive and up-to-date analysis of the successes and failures of 27 countries post-communism transformation. Looking at life after the fall of the Berlin wall in 1989, the book examines and contrasts why some countries have virtually completed their transformation to a liberal polity and economy, while others lag behind.

Reviews

'Oleh Havrylyshyn has produced an outstanding and clear-sighted analytical overview of no less than 27 post-communist countries, essentially covering the former Soviet Bloc in Eurasia and Southeastern Europe... The book is an important contribution and one of the few that attempt to synthesize the voluminous academic literature on most countries and aspects of the transition... [Havrylyshyn] is refreshingly adept at debunking conventional wisdom, making straightforward observations not subdued by political correctness... Havrylyshyn's opus is one of the best books available on post-communist transition' - Anders Ã…slund, Eurasian Geography and Economics.
