| This book series makes available, to the academic community and general public, affordable English-, German- and Russian-language scholarly studies of various empirical aspects of the recent history and current affairs of the former Soviet bloc. The series features narrowly focused research on a variety of phenomena in Central and Eastern Europe as well as Central Asia and the Caucasus. |
It highlights, in particular, so far
understudied aspects of late Tsarist, Soviet, and post-Soviet political,
social, economic and cultural history from 1905 until today. Topics
covered within this focus are, among others, political extremism, the
history of ideas, religious affairs, higher education, and human rights
protection. In addition, the series covers selected aspects of major
issues in post-Soviet transitions such as economic crisis, foreign
policy, and constitutional reform.
