Review

"This book is a compelling meditation on democracy set concretely in the history of European communism and its transformation. Placing culture, people and action at center stage, Harald Wydra's analysis is interpretive, scholarly and intelligent."
Michael Urban, Professor of Politics, University of Kansas

"Throughout Communism and the Emergence of Democracy, Wydra demonstrates an impressive command of social theory in several disciplines: political anthropology, communist and post-communist studies and political theory...[This is] a welcome addition to the literatures on democratic transitions and post-communist studies." Jose A. Aleman, Journal of Politics

Book Description

Harald Wydra argues that much of the literature on the democratisation of former communist countries has neglected the history of communism in its analysis of transformation processes. He suggests that the nature of post-communist democracy cannot be properly understood without reference to the emergence and crisis of communism.
