This volume brings together a distinguished group of scholars working to address the puzzling durability of communist autocracies in Eastern Europe and Asia, which are the longest-lasting type of non-democratic regime to emerge after World War I. The volume conceptualizes the communist universe as consisting of the ten regimes in Eastern Europe and Mongolia that eventually collapsed in 1989-91, and the five regimes that survived the fall of the Berlin Wall: China, Vietnam, Laos, North Korea and Cuba. The essays offer a theoretical argument that emphasizes the importance of institutional adaptations as a foundation of communist resilience. In particular, the contributors focus on four adaptations: of the economy, of ideology, of the mechanisms for inclusion of potential rivals, and of the institutions of vertical and horizontal accountability. The volume argues that when regimes are no longer able to implement adaptive change, contingent leadership choices and contagion dynamics make collapse more likely.

Transition from central planning to a market economy, involving large-scale institutional change and reforms at all levels, is often described as the greatest social science experiment in modern times. As more than two decades have passed since the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union, it is now an excellent time to take stock of how the transition process has turned out for the economies that have moved on from socialism and the command economy.This new handbook assembles a team of leading experts, many of whom were closely involved in the transition process

Dank der Archivrevolution erscheinen die schillernden Beziehungen von Komintern, sowjetischer Führung und KPD in neuem Licht. In den ausführlichen Analysen und Überblicken von B. H. Bayerlein, J. Drabkin und H. Weber werden diese vor dem Hintergrund der gleichzeitig erscheinenden Quellenedition kontextualisiert. Das aus der Deutsch-Russischen Geschichtskommission hervorgegangene Projekt leistet damit einen wertvollen Beitrag, den deutschen Kommunismus und das deutsch-sowjetische Verhältnis systematisch und transnational zu beleuchten.
