Based on an empirical comparison of two countries with significantly different political regimes throughout the period, Hungary and Romania, this study shows how different constellations of successive late socialist and post-socialist regimes have managed internal and external class relations throughout the same global crisis process, from very similar positions of semi-peripheral, post-socialist systemic integration. Within this context, the book follows the role of social movements since the 1970s, paying attention both to the level of differences between local integration regimes and to the level of structural similarities of globalintegration. The analysis maintains a special focus on movements' class composition and inter-class relationships and the specific position of middle-class politics in movements. Agnes Gagyi is a sociologist, working on East European politics and social movements in terms of the region's long-term integration into world-economic and geopolitical relations. She is Researcher at the Department of Sociology and Work Science, University of Gothenburg, where her current projects look at housing conflicts in Eastern Europe after 2008, and the social conditions of urban green infrastructures in face of the climate crisis. She is a founding member of the Working Group for Public Sociology "Helyzet" in Budapest. 410 0$aInternational Political Economy Series,$x2662-2491 606 $aInternational economic relations 606 $aInternational relations 606 $aInternational Political Economy' 606 $aInternational Relations Theory 615 0$aInternational economic relations. 615 0$aInternational relations. 615 14$aInternational Political Economy'. 615 24$aInternational Relations Theory. 676 $a305.55209439 676 $a305.5509439 700 $aGagyi$b Agnes$0921259 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910495215203321 996 $aThe Political Economy of Middle Class Politics and the Global Crisis in Eastern Europe$92066358 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01073nam a2200289 i 4500 001 991003835799707536 005 20250701155011.0 008 000908s1976 it er 001 0 ita 035 $ab10561055-39ule_inst 035 $aEXGIL127670$9ExL 040 $aBiblioteca Interfacoltà$bita$dSocioculturale Scs 041 0 $aita 082 0 $a329 082 04$a324.245075$23 100 1 $aMammarella, Giuseppe$0124405 245 13$aIl Partito comunista italiano, 1945-1975 :$bdalla liberazione al compromesso storico /$cGiuseppe Mammarella 260 $aFirenze :$bVallecchi,$c1976 300 $a286 p. ;$c22 cm 490 1 $aSaggi Vallecchi ;$v19 610 24$aPartito comunista italiano$y1945-1975$xStoria 830 0$aSaggi Vallecchi ;$v19 907 $a.b10561055$b23-02-17$c27-06-02 912 $a991003835799707536 945 $aLE002 St. XVII E 33$g1$i2002000713001$lle002$o-$pE0.00$q-$rl$s-$t0$u0$v0$w0$x0$y.i10643801$z27-06-02 996 $aPartito comunista italiano, 1945-1975$94306909 997 $aUNISALENTO 998 $ale002$b01-01-00$cm$da$e-$fita$git$h3$i1
