New States, New Politics cover

This 1997 book is an analysis of the nation- and state-building processes of fifteen states that grew out of the collapse of the Soviet Union.

This 1997 book is a comprehensive, systematic and penetrating political analysis of the nation- and state-building processes of fifteen states that grew out of the collapse of the Soviet Union. The contributors bring together historical and ethnic backgrounds offering an record of the different roads to self-assertion and independence of these nations.Since its publication in 1993, Nations and Politics in the Soviet Successor-States edited by Ian Bremmer and Ray Taras has established itself internationally as the genuinely comprehensive, systematic and rigorous analysis of the nation- and state-building processes of the fifteen states that grew out of the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union. New States, New Politics: Building the Post-Soviet Nations was first published in 1997 and succeeds and replaces the editors' earlier book with a fresh collection of specially commissioned studies from the world's foremost specialists. Far from eradicating tensions among the former Soviet peoples, the disintegration of empire saw national minorities rediscovering long-suppressed identities. The contributors to New States, New Politics bring together historical and ethnic backgrounds with penetrating political analysis to offer an intriguing record of the different roads to self-assertion and independence being pursued by these young nations.
