Item description from seller

Hardcover, scarce English-language edition, published in a limited run of 500 copies, 256 pages, NOT ex-library. Book is clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Issued without a dust jacket. -- "Enormous societal and political shifts twenty years ago opened prospects for a new, united Europe and put an end to the Cold War and the nuclear standoff. Despite Russia's enormous role in this peaceful departure from totalitarianism, the country's course in the subsequent two decades has not been so straightforward. The book focuses on the outcome of transformation in Russia and other post-communist nations, comparing Russia's experience with that of the Central and Eastern European states. The book's authors, including leading Carnegie Moscow Center experts, pose the question: what was the reason behind Russia's stalled reforms? They argue that a policy that leads to the dismantling of civil liberties in the country and uses strong-arm tactics externally is a dead-end. While the demolition of the Berlin Wall is no guarantee of success, democratic transformations are a necessary precondition for the country's modernization and strong, modern international profile, as well as for citizens' welfare." -- Contents: Sam Greene, Freedom; Alexei Arbatov, Russia's Own Imperial Road; Lilia Shevtsova, The Fall of the Berlin Wall: A Time to Reflect on Why Things Are Not As They Should Be; Andrei Ryabov, No Institutions; Maria Lipman, A Society of Political Indifference; Nikolay Petrov, Russia's Regional Elites in 2010: Twenty Years On; Natalia Bubnova, What Happened to Democracy: Society at the Crossroads; Alexey Malashenko, 'Religious Expansion' and Foreign Policy; Peter Topychkanov, Minorities in a New World; Dmitri Trenin, A Study of Russian Foreign Policy from 1992 to 2010; Conclusion (Natalia Bubnova); About the Carnegie Endowment.
