Reaching back centuries, this study makes a convincing case for very deep roots of current Eastern European backwardness. Its conclusions are suggestive for comparativists studying other parts of the world, and useful to those who want to understand contemporary Eastern Europe's past. Like the rest of the world except for that unique part of the West which has given us a false model of what was "normal," Eastern Europe developed slowly. The weight of established class relations, geography, lack of technological innovation, and wars kept the area from growing richer. In the nineteenth century the West exerted a powerful influence, but it was political more than economic. Nationalism and the creation of newly independent aspiring nation-states then began to shape national economies, often in unfavorable ways. One of this book's most important lessons is that while economics may limit the freedom of action of political players, it does not determine political outcomes. The authors offer no simple explanations but rather a theoretically complex synthesis that demonstrates the interaction of politics and economics.

Along with its much vaunted progress in scientific and economic realms, the twentieth century has witnessed the rise of the most brutal and oppressive regimes in the history of humankind. Even with the collapse of Marxism, current instances of "ethnic cleansing" remind us that tyranny persists in our own age and shows no sign of abating. Daniel Chirot offers an important and timely study of modern tyrants, both revealing the forces that allow them to come to power and helping us to predict where they may arise in the future.

In this volume, nine scholars discuss some of the most critical questions posed by the events of 1989, revolutions which, like the American, French, and Russian revolutions, will not be fully comprehended for many decades. Their articles focus on the political and military role of the United States in the 21st century; the worldwide decline of the left over the last decade; Mikhail Gorbachev's search for socialist renewal; the loss of moral legitimacy in communist systems; the failure of student demonstrations in China to mobilize broad popular support; the relative success of China's economic reform; the paradox of Kim II Sung and the importance of historical and cultural influences; the failure of both the United States and the Soviet Union to develop a viable world vision; and the need for a comprehensive plan to promote economic development in formerly communist countries. By explaining what happened, what forces have been at work in the great struggles that led to 1989, and how these forces continue to operate, the contributors hope to make it clear that there continues to be a future over which to struggle, and the no outcome is predetermined.
