She reveals the changing nature of Soviet border control policy, from the extreme Stalinist isolation of the 1930s to liberalization - and eventual instability - during perestroika in the late 1980s. Chandler argues that Communist ideology was not the only reason for the self-imposed isolation of the state and explores a complex, ever-changing set of political, inter-bureaucratic, and economic factors that combined to influence the Soviet Union's closed-border policies. She draws on social science theories of comparative institutional change and state formation to illuminate policies within the Soviet state, which has often been regarded as a unique case. By exploring why a political system that originally prided itself on its internationalism devoted such intense efforts to seal its society from the outside world, Institutions of Isolation provides a revealing case study of the strengths and weaknesses of the Soviet state. 607 $aSoviet Union$xHistory 607 $aSoviet Union$xBoundaries 607 $aFormer Soviet republics$xBoundaries 607 $aSoviet Union$xForeign relations 607 $aSoviet Union$xPolitics and government 676 $a327.47 700 $aChandler$b Andrea M.$f1963-$01468918 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782732103321 996 $aInstitutions of isolation$93680289 997 $aUNINA
