| Description: |
A comparison of the Communist and Middle-Eastern dictatorships that have remained stable in the 1980s and 1990s. In looking at regimes in North Korea, Libya, Cuba, Iran, Vietnam and China, Brooker offers an explanation of their stability based on external relations as well as studying changes in internal ideological structures during the period. |
| Synopsis: |
Why did some Communist and Middle-Eastern dictatorships, those in China, Vietnam, North Korea, Cuba, Syria, Iraq, Libya and Iran, remained defiantly stable during the onset of a democratic age in the 1980s and early 1990s? The book offers an explanation based upon external relations - the regimes' defiance of external military or political foes - and then searches for alternative or supplementary explanations by examining the changes that occurred in these dictatorships' political structures, ideologies and economic policies during 1980-94. |
