Challenges of Transition. The Post-Communist Experience(s) Vol. 1 - Ioan Stanomir, Cristina Manolache, Anamaria Elena Gheorghe

Challenges of Transition: The Post-Communist Experience(s) is the first collective volume which resulted in the aftermath of the International Interdisciplinary Conference “Challenges of Transition: The Post-Communist Experience(s)', organized by the Doctoral School of Political Science at the University of Bucharest. The event gathered over 80 participants interested in discussing the extent to which we can still talk about post-communism, debating numerous aspects on the challenges of transition as experienced after the collapse of communism and the dissolution of USSR.
With 35 contributions written by young researchers from Romania, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Serbia, Slovenia, Canada and France, the aim of this book is to provide its readers with the latest research trends in the field of Political Science, as well as with a comprehensive analysis of the implications the process of transition continues to have to this day in many post-communist countries. 

Volumul colectiv Challenges of Transition: The Post-Communist Experience(s) reuneste contributiile a peste 30 de tineri cercetatori din Romania, Cehia, Ungaria, Slovacia, Serbia, Armenia, Franta si Canada. Desi ideea unei analize asupra post-comunismului nu este nicidecum o noutate, abordarea comparata si analizele preponderent empirice realizate de autori asigura o nota de originalitate in domeniul studiilor de profil. Mai mult, diversitatea subiectelor cercetate prezentate ofera o perspectiva comprehensiva atat asupra unei perioade controversate a istoriei recente, cat si asupra unui fenomen ce nu si-a atins inca punctul terminus.
Post-comunismul ramane una dintre temele cele mai adesea invocate in domeniul stiintelor sociale, astfel incat prezentul volum colectiv vine in intampinarea nevoii de a avea o literatura de specialitate permanent actualizata.
Nu in ultimul rand, consideram ca volumul se incadreaza cu usurinta pe piata cartilor de specialitate din domeniul stiintelor politice, avand avantajul unei abordari inter- si pluri-disciplinare, o tematica relevanta si inca pertinenta, precum si prin prisma faptului ca este redactat in 2 limbi de circulatie internationala.
