The collapse of communist governments in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union requires a major rethink of many sociological theories of social integration and change. Drawing on a range of social theory, this text offers a comparative analysis of the democratic revolutions, combining historical understanding with accounts of the crisis in communism in Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland and Russia. The author identifies contradictions within Soviet societies, developing a theory of crisis management that accounts for both the survival of the system over several decades and for its eventual failure. The social structure of Soviet systems is analyzed in relation to debates in sociological theory over legitimation, social integration, social movements and modernity. The author examines new forms of class, political and national identity in post-socialist Europe, demonstrating how political conflicts are related to economic transformation, especially the emergence of "nomenklatura capitalism", and asks whether sufficient conditions exist for the stabilization of democratic citizenship? This text comparatively analyzes the communist and post-communist experiences of a number of East European countries in the light of a critical examination of the broad issues of social theory and modernity.
