Politics of East-Central Europe

- COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course is designed to provide an introduction to East-Central European politics. Rather than taking a country-by-country approach to studying the region, the course focuses on major topics of interest across the region. After examining the failure of East-Central European democracy during the interwar period, the course turns to the catclysm of World War II and then the Communist period. The second half of the course focuses on problems of the post-Communist period. How can the nations of East-Central Europe best reform their economies? What type of institutions and electoral system have these newly democratic nations established? Which parties have thrived in these new democracies? How strong is support for freedom and democratic institutions? How have minority groups fared under these newly democratic regimes?
