About this book

Written by a team of leading academic specialists, the third edition of this widely-used text provides a solid background to the rapidly-changing politics of China, Eastern Europe and what was the Soviet Union. The book has been rewritten throughout to reflect the emergence of pluralist multi-party systems and non Communist governments are marked, despite their particular circumstances by a shared experience of Communist rule.
