Postcommunist Belarus

by Stephen White (Editor), Elena Korosteleva (Editor), John Löwenhardt (Editor)

Overview

Belarus is one of the least-studied European states to emerge from the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Nevertheless, Belarus constitutes an important and sensitive border region between Russia and the western part of the continent. In Postcommunist Belarus, a stellar group of contributors offers an important, coherent, and comparative perspective on this little-known country.
