Elections and Democracy after Communism? (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book uses elections as a vehicle to explain the unanticipated outcomes of post-Soviet politics. It assesses how the behavior of voters, candidates and government officials is influenced by the Soviet legacy and rational calculations of self-interest and is the first to address elections across post-Soviet space.
