330   $aThis is the first comprehensive effort to compare the recent political experiences of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the People's Republic of China by tracing their overlapping and diverging paths of regime change.
330   $bThe demise of communism in the former Soviet Union and the massive political and economic changes in China are the stunning transformations of the 20th century this text argues. Two central questions are emerging: why did different communist systems experience different patterns of transition? and, why did partial reforms in the Soviet Union and China turn into revolutions?
