Ten studies from an October 1991 conference in Brussels examine the nearly universal failure of social democratic parties in post-communist East Germany, Poland, Bohemia (The Czech Republic), Slovakia, and Hungary, placing their fortunes in the context of the problems similar parties are currently having in western Europe as well. They highlight the move of former communist parties, safely renamed, to fill the void in that sector of the political spectrum. Distributed by ISBS. Annotation c.
