Abstract

The author argues that the specific properties of the communist systems combined with the historical timing of their rise and fall can be justified by the synchronized patterns of reformations or their absence which are to be observed in the post-communist states. Strict observance of human rights and democratization should presumably have three fundamental causes: (1) national peculiar features that contributed to the desire to break decisively with the communist past; (2) more advanced economic structures that facilitated transition to the market economy; and (3) peace.

Keywords

human rights, armed conflict, democratization, post-communist period, regional nationalism.
