At a time when the USSR is in upheaval, and as Communism is swept away, this text aims to illuminate the rapid changes taking place. Organized around the assumption that the distinction between "State" and "Civil Society" is a key analytical tool, it sheds light on the processes involved in the breakdown of socialism. It is a collection of interconnected essays from international contributors which explore the dynamics of the changes taking place. It pays particular attention to the prospects for the achievement of important human liberties and examines the complex social problems facing Gorbachev during this key period in world politics.
