Stalinism Revisited Stalinism Revisited
CYAN MAGENTA YELLOW BLACK Stalinism Revisited Stalinism Revisited Stalinism Revisited brings together representatives of multiple generations to create a rich examination The Establishment of Communist Regimes in East-Central Europe of the study and practice of Stalinism. While the articles are uniformly excellent, the book’s signal contribution is to bring recent research from Eastern European scholars to an English-speaking audience. Thus the volume is not just a “state of the discipline” collection, in which articles are collected to reflect that current situation of scholarship in a given field; instead, this one includes cutting edge scholarship that will prompt more of the same from other scholars in other fields/subfields. I would recommend this book highly to anyone interested in understanding the technology of Stalinism in both StalinismStalinism thought and practice. Nick Miller Boise State University The Sovietization of post-1945 East-Central Europe—marked by the forceful imposition of the Soviet- type society in the region—was a process of massive socio-political and cultural transformation. Despite its paramount importance for understanding the nature of the communist regime and its RevisitedRevisited legacy, the communist take-over in East Central European countries has remained largely under- researched. Two decades after the collapse of the communist system,Stalinism Revisited brings together a remarkable international team of established and younger scholars, engaging them in a critical re-evaluation of the institutionalization of communist regimes in East-Central Europe and of the period of “high Stalinism.” Sovietization is approached not as a fully pre-determined, homogeneous, and monolithic transformation, but as a set of trans-national, multifaceted, and inter-related processes of large-scale institutional and ideological transfers, made up of multiple “takeovers” in various fields. -

Doctor Honoris Causa - DANIEL CHIROT DOCTOR HONORIS CAUSA -
- - UNIVERSITATEA DIN BUCUREŞTI DANIEL CHIROT Doctor Honoris Causa DANIEL CHIROT DOCTOR HONORIS CAUSA - - What can we do as academics, as teachers, as writers? Few of us ever get the kind of political power that would make a direct difference. But for those in the humanities and social sciences, we can look back and try to understand why some intellectuals resisted, why others did not, and what we can do to give more support to those who are fighting for the liberal Enlightenment. Then we can teach what we have learned, and prepare the young to take a stronger stand in that direction. That is not what everyone can or should do, but at least those of us engaged in the social sciences and humanities who study the modern world should.

Rockefeller and chartered in 1913 "to promote the well-being of mankind throughout the world." It is one of America's oldest private foundations and one of the few with strong international interests. From the beginning, its work has been directed toward identifying and attacking at their source the underlying causes of human suffering and need. • Today, the Foundation offers grants and fellowships in three principal areas: international science-based development, the arts and humanities, and equal opportunity. Within science-based development, the focus is on the developing world and emphases are on the global environment; on the agricultural, health, and popu- lation sciences; and on a very limited number of special African initiatives. The Foundation also has smaller grant programs in international security and U.S. school reform. • The Foundation concentrates its efforts on selected programs with well-defined goals, but tries to remain flexible by adjusting its course to reflect new needs and opportunities as they arise. In addition, the Foundation maintains the Bellagio Study and Conference Center in northern Italy for conferences of international scope and for residencies for artists and scholars. « The Foundation is administered by its president through a staff drawn from scholarly, scientific, and professional disciplines. An independent board of trustees, which meets four times a year, sets program guidelines and financial policy and approves all appro- priations.
