THE END OF EMPIRE? THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE USSR IN COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVE [INTERNATIONAL POLITICS OF EURASIA, VOLUME 9]

by Karen Dawisha

First Published in 1997. This book is the ninth in a series often volumes produced by the Russian Littoral Project, The project shares the conviction that the transformation of the former Soviet republics into independent states demands systematic analysis of the determinants of the domestic and foreign policies of the new countries. The series of volumes is intended to provide a basis for comprehensive scholarly study of these issues. This volume was shaped by the author’s view that future scholarship about the post Soviet world requires both specialized research and broad-gauge studies that carefully juxtapose the breakup of the Soviet empire with the transformation of other multinational empires.
