In other words, is the post-communist transition an integral part of a transition which has involved Europe as a whole, since the end of the cold war, in the reconstruction of its political unity?

It is a leading authoritative source to a better understanding of the eastern european region and countries, and their own ways towards democracy and market economy. Revue d'études comparatives Est-Ouest plays a defining role in its field of study and contributes to an emerging european forum of research in a wide field of social sciences (economics, sociology, politics, history).

The journal publishes timely, high quality articles from a variety of disciplines, including history, political science, sociology, anthropology, and literature.
Post-Communist Economies
Description: Post-Communist Economies publishes key research and policy articles in the analysis of post-communist economies. The basic transformation in the past two decades through stabilisation, liberalisation and privatisation has been completed in virtually all of the former communist countries, but despite the dramatic changes that have taken place, the post-communist economies still form a clearly identifiable group, distinguished by the impact of the years of communist rule. Post-communist economies still present distinctive problems that make them a particular focus of research.
Journal of Communist Studies and Transition Politics
Description: The face of Europe has been transformed by the demise of the Soviet Union and the collapse of communist party rule in Eastern Europe. Within a series of countries, some of them erstwhile members of a Soviet bloc, others once part of the Soviet Union itself, a deep process of adjustment is under way. Retitled to reflect these far-reaching changes, The Journal of Communist Studies and Transition Politics devotes particular attention to this truly epochal process of regime change, including in its material contributions from within the affected societies. At the same time, it follows the effects of this upheaval on communist parties, ruling and non-ruling, both in Europe and in the wider world.
East European Constitutional Review
Description: Since 1992 the EECR has covered the challenges and obstacles of postsocialist law and politics. Its aim is to give an in-the-trenches understanding of the dilemmas of postsocialist legal reform and to serve as a vital and lively forum for discussion and debate about pressing issues of the rule of law. The EECR tracks the constitutional development of the region through quarterly offerings of academic articles, roundtables, and symposia by regional and foreign scholars.
