East European Politics
GOVT283 SP
Not Currently Offered
This course traces the history of the other Europe from
imperial domination in the 19th century to the imposition of
Soviet rule after World War II. After a review of the
pattern of socioeconomic change and political crisis since
then, we study the collapse of 1989 and the struggles of the
newly-independent countries to make the transition to
democracy and a market economy. The course looks at
Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Yugoslavia and Romania.
