Dreams of a Democratic Peace
The interpretive frames used to characterize the end of Communism in Eastern Europe have shifted over the decades. If early assessments questioned whether it was a revolution at all, later perspectives have situated it at the climax of a global wave of democratic change. This reassessment considers two faulty assumptions embedded in the author’s own work on 1989: first, that democracy and liberalism would be the dominant outcomes of revolution, a…

New York: Pantheon Books, 2016. Pp. 724. The prison confounds its society, perhaps more than any other institution, and it is no less daunting to the social scientist. It is deliberately opaque to the average observer, and yet the so…
Lauren Arrington. Revolutionary Lives
The life of Constance Gore-Booth, later Countess Markievicz, provides an excellent perspective on identities in transformation in early-twentieth-century Europe. Her ardent participation in the revolutions in Irish culture and politics traces paths that can be found in nearly any country in Europe, but the literal and figurative journeys she took away from Lissadell, the family estate in County Sligo where she spent her childhood, into the artist…
Brigitte Studer. The Transnational World of the Cominternians
A number of political historians—Archie Brown (The Rise and Fall of Communism [2009]), Silvio Pons (The Global Revolution: A History of International Communism, 1917–1921 [2014]), and Robert Service (Comrades: A World History of Communism [2007]), among others—have in recent years provided broad sweeping narratives of the Leninist struggle to remake the world through revolution, diplomacy, war, imposed rule, and revolutionary export. Lost in thos…

I felt a kind of pleasure in seeing them treat us brutally.' The Emergence of the Political Prisoner, 1865-1910
The political prisoner is a figure taken for granted in historical discourse, with the term being used broadly to describe any individual held in captivity for oppositional activities. This article argues for understanding the political prisoner, for whom prison becomes a vehicle of politics, as the product of modern states and political movements. The earlier practices of the 'imprisoned political,' for whom prison was primarily an obstacle to p…
What's New, We Knew
On a global scale, the last half-century has surely furnished no grander political story to write than that of the fall of communism in 1989–91. For once, democratic actors carried the day. Politicians spoke earnestly and seriously of moral obligations and of universal values. People took to the streets but rarely did any damage to other people or to property (except for that suffered by a certain hideous and hard-to-maintain concrete structure r…
Borders Breached
Borders Breached: The Transnational in Eastern Europe since Solidarity This article reconsiders the history of the late Cold War and the early post-Cold War eras as shaped by transnational forces. It proposes an understanding of the transnational as created by individual and group actors crossing borders and engaging in diffusion of ideas, styles and methods of political action. The era centred around 1989 differed, in its transnationality, from …

Framing, Political Opportunities, and Civic Mobilization in The Eastern European Revolutions
Scholarship on the revolutions of 1989 has failed to take into account the role social movements played in civic mobilization in the late communist period. This is in part due to shortcomings in the theory of political opportunities as applied to repressive regimes. Through a case study of the Freedom and Peace movement, prominent in Poland between 1985 and 1989, this article shows how such a movement needed to create its own opportunities. Its e…

Rebuilding Poland
The first book to examine the communist takeover in Poland from the bottom up, and the first to use archives opened in 1989, Rebuilding Poland provides a radically new interpretation of the communist experience. Padraic Kenney argues that the postwar takeover was also a social revolution, in which workers expressed their hopes for dramatic social change and influenced the evolution-and eventual downfall-of the communist regime. Kenney compares Lo…
Remaking the Polish Working Class
The Stalinist revolution began to accelerate in Poland, as throughout eastern Europe, in 1947, with the implementation of multi-year plans, the repression of opposition and the enforcement of unity in the bloc; by the beginning of 1950, the transformation of the bloc was more or less complete. The construction of the Stalinist system did not occur in a vacuum but was shaped in part by societies, and the regimes which emerged were thus more comple…
