ISBN: 9780674836808 / Angielski / Twarda / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) What led to the breakdown of the Soviet Union? Steven Solnick argues, contrary to most current literature, that the Soviet system did not fall victim to stalemate at the top or to a revolution from below, but rather to opportunism from within. In three case studies--on the Communist Youth League, the system of job assignments for university graduates, and military conscription--Solnick makes use of rich archival sources and interviews to tell the story from a new perspective, and to employ and test Western theories of the firm in the Soviet environment. He finds that even before Gorbachev,... What led to the breakdown of the Soviet Union? Steven Solnick argues, contrary to most current literature, that the Soviet system did not fall vict... |

The Soviet System: Models of a Political Society
ISBN: 9781412842754 / Angielski / Miękka / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Many things make up a modern society: its history, culture, natural setting, wealth, classes, and peoples. For some, the power structure, the political system, lies at the heart of the social order. Russia has long been a "political society" and its future may also be decided in large part by the power structure. A good way to understand Russia and other modern societies is to examine the ties between the "Soviet system" and the rest of the country's life. George Fischer argues that it is these ties that explain much about the consequences of a communist state. The Soviet System,...

Russia's Road to Modernity
ISBN: 9781625163134 / Angielski / Miękka / 124 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Communism in Russia and Eastern Europe was a "Baron Munchausen syndrome" - a venture similar to that of a fairytale personage who boasted to be able to lift himself up by grabbing hold of his own hair. Post-communist transition still involves social, cultural, and political engineering, since fundamentally it is a transition to modern society in the conditions of an assertive and sometimes forceful presence of ready-made Western institutional and cultural formats. Such is the challenge facing Russia in the epoch of globalisation. Russia's Road to Modernity looks at Russian social change...
