This course will provide a survey of politics in Central and East
European states, from a comparative perspective, to examine the
divergence of political and economic trajectories in the region since
the fall of communism. The goal of the course is to introduce students
to the major themes of authoritarianism, the challenges in transition
to democracy, and the importance of historical/institutional legacies
in analyzing the post-communist regimes.
