"Russian Economic Transformation
Introduction
This research examines the process and status of economic transformation in the Republic of Russia. The scope of this research covers the period subsequent to the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991 (Berger, 1993, p. 32); however, the principal focus of this examination is on the status of and developments in the Russian economy in the 1993-1994 period.
The Republic of Russia is, in effect, the successor state to the former Soviet Union (Brockway, 1994, pp. 12-13). Although any of the 15 autonomous republics of the former Soviet Union could claim such a designation, the Russian Republic is the only one of those 15 states that retains any semblance of the international stature of the former Soviet Union."

"The war in Bosnia has baffled many. It would be hard to find a greater divergence between the ideals of any decent, civilized human being and what has gone on in the former Yugoslavia. To the liberals, it follows that this war is a problem for which there will be a solution--even though their record of counter-productive results from previous problem-solving ventures, at home and abroad, leaves them undaunted. Those who look first at the inherent constraints of a situation will find in Bosnia some of the most intractable constraints imaginable. One of these is the past--a history of bitter and lethal intergroup hatreds going back for centuries.
To many, the media images of the bloodbath in Bosnia have also obscured one basic fact: that the Bosnian war is not a civil war in its own right, but an extension of the Serbian-..."

" Eastern Europe has ceased to exist. This artificial creation of Yalta existed only as long as the Soviet army could support the doubtful legitimacy of communist regimes throughout the region. When it became obvious that the Soviets were not going to use force to stop the wave of change in their European empire, the only thing needed was the first hole in the dike. After the change of government in Poland and the collapse of the communist party in Hungary, no one could stop the flood of freedom. The pace of events was astonishing. In a matter of just a few years, the Berlin wall was dismantled allowing for the reunification of East and West Germany and communism collapsed in virtually every nation of the region from Romania to Bulgaria.
The purpose of this research is to examine the political and economic developments in Eastern Europe as revealed in the..."

" In the nineteenth century, the rise of nationalism contributed to the development of the nation-states that would continue into this century, and expansionist programs on the part of many of the stronger nations contributed to the creation of empires built around colonies in different parts of the world. The British Empire was probably the largest of these and included colonies all over the world. In the twentieth century, many of the existing empires and nation-states have undergone transformations as various pressures have caused them to disintegrate, to break up into discrete units around nationalistic, geographic, and ethnic differences. An examination of the decline and disintegration of the British Empire, the Soviet Union, and Yugoslavia will serve to develop rules as to why countries decline, and these rules will then be..."

"This study will provide a critical analysis of Walter LaFeber's America, Russia, and the Cold War, 1945-1992. The study will argue that LaFeber gives a portrait of the Cold War, its origins, development and demise, which is comprehensive, fair, and insightful.
LaFeber focuses on the role of the United States in the Cold War, but he cannot be said to be a biased reporter. He tries to discover the causes and effects of the Cold War from both sides, and he does this effectively, without blaming either side. He shows how the Cold War actually had its origins in the last century, when the United States and Russia met, one expanding westward and the other expanding eastward. Both sides in the Cold War had their own mixed motivations for their part in the conflict, which LaFeber sees as the result..."

"Mercenaries in the Former Yugoslavia
This paper will discuss the involvement of mercenaries, especially Russian mercenaries, in the civil war in the former territories of Yugoslavia. The first part of the paper will describe the experience of the mercenaries fighting on the side of the Bosnian Muslims. The second part of the paper will describe the experience of the Russian mercenaries fighting with the Bosnian Serbs.
Mercenaries are a feature in any civil war, where one or both sides are willing to pay for military service and are not particular about where all of their soldiers come from. Soldiers of fortune are particularly attracted to conflicts where strict military discipline is not an attribute of the armies involved. In these situations, they are not closely supervised and are allowed to..."

"Fascism and Ultranationalism in Contemporary Croatia, Hungary, and Serbia
Introduction
This research examines the development of fascism and ultranationalism in contemporary Croatia, Hungary, and Serbia. Fascism and ultranationalism are not one and the same thing. While a fascist likely will be an ultranationalist (and will certainly be nationalistic), an ultranationalist need not necessarily be a fascist. As these two terms are critical to this examination, they must be defined.
Ultranationalism
Ultranationalism implies not only an intensely patriotic attitude toward and a highly chauvinistic perception of one's own nation, but also implies a desire to exclude others from..."

"Single Country Case Study: Romania
Introduction
This research examines the changing political and economic conditions within Romania. The period of interest is subsequent to the general socialist collapse in Eastern Europe that began in 1989.
Political Developments in Romania
It was the ascendancy of Mikhail Gorbachev to the Soviet leadership in 1985, however, that ushered in the most dramatic political and economic changes in Eastern Europe since the Russian Revolution in 1917. Gorbachev assumed office with an agenda calling for a liberalization of the Soviet political structure, a reform of the Soviet economic structure, and a policy of self-determination for the Soviet satellite nation states of which Romania was one..."

" The rise to power across Eastern Europe of a new revolutionary class of dissidents in 1989 and 1990--this time a class of anti-communist dissidents--has been one of the most dramatic changes in contemporary politics. Throughout Eastern Europe, thousands marched for freedom and bulldozers leveled statues of communist heroes, leaving Vladimer Lenin lying face down in the streets of a new era. Political parties headed by opponents of communist rule came to power through free elections in Poland, Hungary and Czechoslovakia; the communist regime of the German Democratic Republic was ousted by anti-communist dissidents, preparing the way for unification with West Germany; and non-communist political parties appeared for the first time since the Second World War in Bulgaria and Romania.
Partly because of a desire for a peaceful transition and.."

"Religion in Austria
Introduction
Although most of the nations of Europe contain members of many different religions and sects, some of them are dominated by one sort of religious practice. In many instances, the religion of the country has been a central element in the development of that country, and in the unfolding of its history.
In the case of Austria, that has clearly been the situation. Austria is now, and was during the time of the Habsburgs, a Roman Catholic country. Roman Catholicism has influenced its development until the modern era, and even beyond.
The Early History
While Austria had an early history of exposure to Christianity.."

From the Paper
"The collapse of East European regimes probably had less to do with political opposition from within or economic and military pressure from without than is commonly thought to be the case. When Gorbachev launched perestroika, he apparently made the decision to dismantle the Soviet empire in Eastern Europe, an empire which the Soviets could no longer afford or properly manage. Thus the 1989 demise of communism in Eastern Europe should probably be seen as less a political victory by the democratic opposition within Poland, East Germany, or Czechoslovakia but rather a defeat by default of these local ruling elites, set adrift by a Gorbachev bent on reforming a fast disintegrating Soviet economic system (Ash, 1990).
The nature of the economic crisis in Eastern Europe has to a large extent paralleled the economic crisis in the former Soviet.."
