Abstract

The collapse of communist regimes in Russia and Eastern Europe between 1989 and 1991 inaugurated a period of momentous political change, the ultimate outcomes of which are still unknown. With few exceptions, post-communist political leaders have committed themselves to transforming their countries’ political and economic institutions in accord with the Western liberal model. The politics of the region have thus been dominated since the late 1980s by efforts to replace the institutions of state socialism with those of the market economy and representative democracy.
