| Summary: | This book looks at the liberalisation process in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) during the period of 1987-1989, focusing on Gorbachev's initiative to encourage perestroika in all the fraternal regimes of CEE outside the Soviet Union. Archival materials, interviews and textual analysis identify a common initiative between 1987 and 1989 among the fraternal communist parties of CEE to perpetuate the one-party system across this space by liberalising the economy and modernising the regime. |
