This book provides an insightful analysis to the reasons of the fall of state-socialist regimes in Eastern Europe. It examines how the long-standing economic crisis, increasing levels of dissatisfaction, lack of political legitimacy and the impact of the significant changes in the Soviet Union come together and brought the regimes down in 1989 in the region. This is a detailed, yet concise, comparative analysis of the historical, economic, political and cultural developments on the eastern side of the former Iron Curtain.
