Dear John,
In the last century, the 29-country region covered by Freedom House’s annual Nations in Transit report has been the stage for two world wars, two genocides, two of the vilest and most egregious dictatorial regimes in history, and countless acts of sectarian violence, persecution, and repression.
Nevertheless, when the Soviet Union collapsed in the early 1990s, hopes were high that democracy and the rights it ensures would spread in its wake. Instead, over the last two decades authoritarianism has expanded at the expense of democracy.
In advance of Freedom House’s annual Nations in Transit report, we present another installment of our ongoing book series—featuring books that help explain the state of democracy in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia.
