Klappentext This book examines how international factors interact with domestic conditions to enable the persistence of authoritarianism in post-Soviet states. Several of these states are understudied in political science and their inclusion in this volume helps us develop a better understanding of the experiences, issues, and problems of post-communism. This edited collection focuses on a significant and timely, yet largely neglected, topic-the role of international factors in explaining authoritarian persistence. While focusing on former Soviet states, it is a "must read" for students and experts seeking to understand the relationship between authoritarianism and globalization. -- Nicole J.
