About

Offering a single, coherent framework of the political, economic, and social phenomena that characterize post-communist regimes, The Anatomy of Post-Communist Regimes is the most comprehensive work on post-communist regimes to date. Focusing on Central Europe, the post-Soviet countries and China, the study provides concepts and theories to analyze the actors, institutions, and dynamics of post-communist democracies, autocracies, and dictatorships.

This website contains the book in PDF format, the draft of a seminar with prepared syllabus and PPTs, a 3D interactive model for post-communist regimes trajectories, supplementary material (including the appendix), other works from the authors, related events, and more.
