This comparative study of Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary explores the reasons for these reforms and their consequences for post-communist democracies.Post-communismEurope, EasternRegional planningEurope, EasternPost-communismEurope, CentralRegional planningEurope, CentralEurope, EasternPolitics and government1989-Europe, CentralPolitics and government1989-Post-communismRegional planningPost-communismRegional planning320.947Yoder Jennifer A1660023MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910826703203321Crafting democracy4014989UNINA
