'Corrin's collection fills a gap in the existing research of the forces that stand in the way of democratisation in Central and Eastern Europe, pointing out that the participation of all members of society on an equal footing is a basic human right.' - Millennium
'Overall this is a handy volume, useful for its theoretical information and for the theoretical questions it raises ... informative and thought-provoking.' - Europe-Asia Studies
