Conclusion -- Bibliography -- Index 330 $aThis book develops a fresh and challenging perspective on the transition from communism to capitalism. Drawing on a wide and diverse range of material and texts, it argues that transition and democratisation studies should turn their attention towards processes of illusion formation and disillusionment as key to understanding the shift from one ideological framework to another. The author provides alternative approaches to otherwise classical sites of examination of social change - such as revolutions and the emergence of civil society - and proposes a number of new possible sites by analysing the politics of self-reflection, the element of shock inherent in any transition and the role of visual narratives in negotiating change. The chapters are inspired by unique interviews and discussions with the leaders of the Timisoara Revolution, the Group of Social Dialogue - the first civil society organisation in post-communist Romania, the leading author of the 'Presidential Report Analysing the Communist Dictatorship in Romania' and an innovative group of photographers tracing the Romanian transition through images. 410 0$aPerspectives on democratic practice (Manchester, England) 606 $aPost-communism$zRomania 606 $aDemocratization$zRomania 606 $aPolitics$2mup 606 $aPolitical Science & Theory$2bicssc 606 $aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Comparative Politics$2bisach 606 $aComparative politics$2thema 607 $aRomania$xPolitics and government$y1989- 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aRomanian 1989 Revolution. 610 $acapitalism. 610 $acommunism. 610 $acultural studies. 610 $ademocratic transition. 610 $adisillusionment. 610 $aeconomic failures. 610 $apolitical corruption. 610 $apolitical science. 610 $apost-communist transition. 610 $aregional studies. 610 $asociology. 610 $atransitology studies. 615 0$aPost-communism 615 0$aDemocratization 615 7$aPolitics 615 7$aPolitical Science & Theory 615 7$aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Comparative Politics 615 7$aComparative politics 676 $a320.9498 700 $aPusca$b Anca$01622262 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826930103321 996 $aRevolution, democratic transition and disillusionment$93956024 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02638oam 2200649I 450 001 9910967090703321 005 20251116192610.0 010 $a0-415-37781-1 010 $a1-134-18357-7 010 $a0-203-97017-9 010 $a1-134-18358-5 024 7 $a10.4324/9780203970171 035 $a(CKB)2550000001117729 035 $a(EBL)1397069 035 $a(OCoLC)862824366 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000999790 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12470988 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000999790 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10943778 035 $a(PQKB)10552849 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1397069 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1397069 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10763952 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL518167 035 $a(OCoLC)858861350 035 $a(OCoLC)861536016 035 $a(FINmELB)ELB131041 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000001117729 100 $a20180331d2006 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aAccounting standards $etrue or false? /$fR.A.

Following a spate of high-profile financial scandals (including Enron, WorldCom, and Parmalat), the quality of financial information has come under increasing scrutiny. Many of the accounting standards being imposed on the profession by regulators and standard-setting bodies are now attracting criticism from the business community and the accountancy profession itself.

In this book, Anthony Rayman traces a fundamental flaw in the conventional academic wisdom back to the nineteenth century, and proposes an alternative conceptual framework. He argues that effective corporate gove 606 $aAccounting$xStandards 606 $aFinancial statements 615 0$aAccounting$xStandards. 615 0$aFinancial statements. 676 $a657/.02/18 700 $aRayman$b R.
