Political Parties of Eastern Europe: A Guide to Politics in the Post-communist Era

This comprehensive one-volume guide to politics in Eastern Europe provides a wealth of information on the region. The author outlines the emergent political spectrum of parties and coalitions, which are described in the 20 country chapters that make up the heart of the book.

Tables at the end of each country chapter present basic political data and electoral results. A concluding essay evaluates democratic development in the region.
