New states, new politics

Since first publication in 1993, Nations and Politics in the Soviet Successor-States edited by Ian Bremmer and Ray Taras has established itself internationally as the first genuinely comprehensive, systematic and rigorous analysis of the nation- and state-building processes of the fifteen new states which grew out of the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union. New States, New Politics: Building the Post-Soviet Nations succeeds and replaces the editors' earlier book with a new collection of specially commissioned studies from the world's foremost specialists. Far from eradicating tensions among the former Soviet peoples, the disintegration of empire has seen national minorities rediscovering long-suppressed new identities. The contributors to New States, New Politics once again bring together historical and ethnic background with penetrating political analysis to offer a fresh, up-to-date and unique record of the different roads to self-assertion and independence being pursued by these young nations. --Publisher description.
