Magyar and Madlovics strongly argue for a vocabulary and grammar tailored to the specifics of the region. In 120 theses they unfold a conceptual framework with (1) a typology of post-communist regimes and (2) a detailed presentation of ideal-type actors and the political, economic, and social phenomena in these regimes. The book is a more digestible companion to the 800-page The Anatomy of Post-Communist Regimes (CEU Press, 2020), which was a detailed theoretical study with plenty of empirical illustrations. Each of the 120 theses contains a statement and its concise discussion supported by illustrative tables, figures, and QR-codes that connect the interested reader to the more detailed analysis in the Anatomy. In a condensed variety, this book has kept the holistic approach of the Anatomy and treats the spheres of political, market, and communal action as parts of a single, coherent whole. The endeavor to synthesize a vast range of ideas does not, however, result in a too complicated text. On the contrary, freed from the implicit presumptions of democracy theory, the new terminology yields a readily usable toolkit of unambiguous means of expression to speak about post-communism"-- 650 0 Post-communism |zEurope, Eastern. 650 0 Post-communism |zChina. 651 0 Europe, Eastern |xSocial conditions |y1989- 651 0 Europe, Eastern |xPolitics and government |y1989- 651 0 China |xSocial conditions |y2000- 651 0 China |xPolitics and government |y21st century. 700 1 Madlovics, Bálint, |d1993- |eauthor. 880 |6245 942 |2ddc |cBK 952 |00 |10 |2ddc |40 |6306_094700000000000_MAG |70 |8REF |9161419OSA |bOSA |d2023-02-10 |eComFas |l0 |o306.0947 MAG |r2023-02-10 |w2023-02-10 |yBK |cReference 920 01 yozkNOXr 992 01 306_094700000000000_MAG |bWZT_ZQVSZZZZZZZZZZZ_DPJ 966 |cIn the Research Room
