The Prospects for Liberal Nationalism in Post-Leninist States

Summary

The fall of communism in the Soviet Union led many to expect that liberal democracy would take root, since then however, a very different picture has emerged. This work examines this phenomenon and shows how liberalism and nationalism were more difficult to reconcile because Leninism was indigenous and had a significant impact on nation-building.
