Kenneth A. Loparo 
Ideology and System Change in the USSR and East Europe 

These studies cover a range of topics – market reforms, social justice, ecology, nationalism, new political parties and more – that are at the centre of the revolutionary changes under way in the former Soviet bloc. The breadth of this book’s subject matter is complemented by the variety of methods and approaches that it features: historical interpretation, linguist analysis, statistical analysis and political sociology. The result is a genuinely inter disciplinary treatment of this important topic.
