Democratic Centralism in Romania
As a study of politics in a communist party state, this work constitutes an effort to apply common assumptions about developing/modernizing politics in the non-communist world to the case of an Eastern European state all with a view to testing hypotheses concerning Western and Third World against the experience of a developing communist nation.
Eastern Europe
Eastern Europe addresses the emergence of uncertain pluralism in the region following the disintegration of the communist regimes in 1989. Taking a broad historical approach, the volume considers issues and challenges that have marked Eastern Europe from 1939 through World War II and the era of socialism, up to the present.

Domains and Divisions of European History
The patterns of unity and division that define Europe as a historical region have been discussed in many seminal works, but the complex set of questions behind its domains and divisions merits a more sustained debate. The disappearance of the cold war, the enlargement of the European Union, and core issues of historical sociology all require an exploration of the structures and boundaries of historical formations, as well as the question of European unity. This volume tackles the topic of the divisions that have shaped European history head-on, as leading scholars in the field negotiate such issues as regional identity, geographical boundaries, divisional labeling, and post–cold war European unity.
