Description

This comprehensive Routledge volume examines the methodological foundations and empirical approaches that shaped Sovietology during the Cold War era and its aftermath. The work provides critical analysis of how scholars approached the study of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, particularly in light of the unexpected collapse of the USSR in 1991 and the geopolitical transformations that followed across Eastern Europe. By the early 1980s, Sovietology had begun recognising the economic and political crises emerging within the Soviet system, yet the discipline was largely unprepared for the sudden dissolution of a state that had governed a sixth of the world's territory for nearly seven decades. This text offers serious stock-taking amongst practitioners in the field, examining the theoretical frameworks, research methodologies, and empirical strategies employed by scholars attempting to understand the Communist bloc's structure, internal contradictions, and eventual collapse. Essential for researchers, academics, and students of Cold War history, Eastern European politics, and international relations seeking to understand both the achievements and limitations of Sovietology as an intellectual discipline.
