by Ottorino Cappelli (Editor), Rita di Leo (Editor), Stephen White (Editor)

Of course we watched it all on television, day by day, as the Evil Empire transmuted into the Circus Bear, but seeing it and knowing what to think about it are not the same. Scholars from eastern and western Europe and North America help out, in 14 papers from an April 1992 conference in Naples.

Editorial Reviews

Of course we watched it all on television, day by day, as the Evil Empire transmuted into the Circus Bear, but seeing it and knowing what to think about it are not the same. Scholars from eastern and western Europe and North America help out, in 14 papers from an April 1992 conference in Naples. They consider the development of representational government, the August 1991 coup attempt, law reform, and the reactions of common people, political parties, and the media. Annotation c.
