Content:

Addresses many of the theoretical issues raised by the collapse of communism and the emergence of post-communism. The arguments of those who claim that the experiment with modernity has been shown by the anti-communist revolutions to have finally failed, will be critically assessed. Marxisms focus on class as the motor of history will be compared with views that focus more on national identity. More practical problems of creating a post-communist political, economic, social and ideological system will also be considered. The subject will also consider some of the real achievements of post-communism.

Assessment:
