Title: The Transition to Communist Dictatorships in East-Central Europe1
Abstract: Abstract Chapter 15 examines the transition to communism in East-Central Europe after 1945. Like Western Europe, East-Central Europe's postwar political development diverged greatly from the prewar period. But while this divergence landed Western Europe finally in the liberal democratic camp, East-Central Europe ended up ruled by communist dictatorships. The chapter investigates the domestic and international reasons for this political outcome and the main features and consequences of communist dictatorships in East-Central Europe.
