In The Rise and Demise of World Communism, George Breslauer explores the nature of communist regimes-what they shared in common, how they differed from each other, and how they differentially evolved over time. He offers the most accessible and readable account of the evolution of communism in sixteen states. Half the size of more detailed and encyclopedic books on the rise and fall of communism, it engages the reader with short chapters and a ready understanding of the historical flow from Karl Marx to the present day.

This edited volume analyses European socialist countries’ strategy of engagement with the West and the European Economic Community in the long 1970s. The book focuses on a time when the socialist regimes of Central and Eastern Europe banked their hopes for prosperity and stability on enhanced relations with the West. Crossing the traditional differences among diverse fields of historiography, it assesses the complex influence of European and global processes of transformation on the socialist elites’ reading of the international political and economic environment and their consequent decision-making. The volume also explores the debate in each country among and within the elites involved in policymaking as they elaborated this strategic view and coped with shortcomings and unexpected turns. A comparative analysis of national cases shows a shared logic and common patterns, together with national variations and a plurality of views on the desirability of exchanges with their capitalist neighbours and on the ways to promote them. The multinational coverage of seven countries makes this volume a starting point for anyone interested in each socialist state’s foreign policy, intra-bloc relations, economic strategy, transformation and collapse, relations with the European Community and access to the EU. This book will be of much interest to students and researchers of Cold War Studies, European history, and International Relations.

This volume offers fresh perspectives on the representation of the recent past in museums of the Second World War and of communism in post-communist Eastern Europe. It does so against the background of recent European-wide debates on history, memory and politics. The contributors from across Europe focus comparatively on a wide variety of case studies, pointing out similarities and differences, and accounting for transnational patterns of remembrance at regional and European level. Occupation and Communism in Eastern European Museums argues that museums have a huge influence on the image of the communist past in Eastern Europe. It shows how they use a vast array of media tools, visual tactics and commercial strategies in order to substantiate ideological approaches to the past and to shape the attitude of public opinion.--Back cover

Au moyen d’une démarche de sociologie politique et critique cet ouvrage analyse les mécanismes de pouvoir dont témoignent l’émergence et le déploiement de normes technocratiques, discours experts, répertoires militants et savoirs académiques centrés sur les droits des femmes et l’égalité des sexes dans le contexte postsocialiste et au-delà. Un dispositif d’observation multi-échelles et transnational rassemble des institutions précédemment quasi ignorées par la recherche en sciences sociales : un réseau militant transatlantique, une fondation philanthropique étasunienne, plusieurs centres d’études sur le genre basés dans les anciens pays socialistes. L’enquête éclaire ainsi de manière inédite la captation des ressources féministes dans la gouvernance et donne à voir le genre comme un puissant vecteur idéologique et pratique de la pénétration des logiques libérales dans l’ancien « bloc de l’Est » pendant le processus de démocratisation. Appuyée sur des outils prosopographiques, l’analyse met en perspective les parcours de plusieurs dizaines d’intellectuelles – des entrepreneures et des médiatrices du genre en voie de professionnalisation académique, technocratique et militante – qui ont fait revivre temporairement leur capital historique « rouge » pour se construire comme des intervenantes légitimes dans les arènes féministes globalisées de l’après-Guerre froide.
