Emeritus of Political Science at Carleton University in Ottawa; an associate
at the Davis Center of Russian and Euroasian Studies, and the Ukrainian

of the Soviet political-military regional system for the Canadian Government.
Her book (first edition in collaboration with Andrew Gyorgy) entitled Communism
in Eastern Europe (1979 and 1984) was
for a decade the main source of knowledge on this subject for students
of Political Science all over the world.
Piotr Dutkiewicz - is Professor of
Political Science and Director of the Institute of European and Russian
Studies at Carleton University in Ottawa. He is a specialist in comparative
politics, regional development, the political systems of Eastern Europe,
the labor market and social policy. He was editor-in-chief of a 19-volume
series on local and regional Development in Poland and Eastern Europe (1986-1989).
His main works include: Theory and Practice
of the Civil Society in Russia (with Dean
Guzina and Vladimir Marakhov as editors, 2005), Basics
of Local Governance (with Andrei Zakharov
as editors, 2001) and NATO Looks East (with
Robert Jackson as editors, 1998).
From Preface:
This book describes a singular region, only vaguely recognized in Western
public opinion. Even specialists may find parts of it suprising, as it
cantains various interpretations of the weighty events that have resulted
in the downfall of the Soviet empire. The vast quantity of scientific and
non-fiction literature has attempted to describe these events, the most
spectacular geopolitical catastrophe in modern history. Were this book
to simply contain a description of what happened, it would not differ from
hundreds of similar works. But here the authors reach deeper, as they try
to identify both the overt and hidden processes that led to the breakthrough
and gave it a very diffrent character within each of various countries
of the region.
