"A sharp, thoughtful, graciously written study, based on impressive research in the archives of the French and Italian parties, as well as East German records, for insights into Soviet actions. The book does not change the overall understanding of the positions and roles of the two parties, but it adds much rich detail and subtlety. Summing up: highly recommended". – Choice on Which Socialism, Whose Détente?

"The four case studies provide substantial grist for those interested in generalizations about successful state building. Furthermore, specialists should find the cross-country comparisons on the development of tax regimes interesting. Summing up: recommended." – Choice on State-Building

"Filled with new information and original ideas and offering intriguing incentives for further research, this well-edited volume is not only a remarkable edition to the literature on European eugenics but provides invaluable insights into the broader currents of intellectual life in central and southeast Europe.” – Slavic Review on Blood and Homeland

Both From Solidarity to Martial Law and Islam and Tolerance in Wider Europe are highly recommended by Choice.

The Technology of Transition
Science and Technology Policies for Transition Countries

Edited by David A. Dyker, University of Sussex

This book addresses the crucial question of how countries which have suffered losses in productivity levels and innovatory momentum over perhaps 20-30 years can rediscover their dynamism.

Because the contributors have the immediate experi-ence of tackling such complex problems and possess first-hand knowledge of a wide range of develop-mental patterns, each is in a strong position to contribute to the search for comprehensive solutions. This book not only focuses on the problems of innovation and technology transfer as they are reflected in the experience of the transition period to date but also seeks to develop conceptual and strategic approaches to problems which will take a generation or more to resolve.
