International Handbook of Human Rights
This collection of essays on the current human rights climate in 19 countries includes Canada, Chile, China, Cuba, Israel, Poland, the USA, and USSR, and represents a variety of regimes, cultural traditions, and geographical areas. . . . For analysis of the facts this volume excels. A well-crafted introduction describes current debate about human rights theory and practice, traces the development of human rights instruments, and discusses problems of implementation. Strongly recommended. Library Journal The bulk of the scholarly literature on human rights deals with international law and politics. In contrast, this volume offers nineteen case studies of national human rights practices. Although international factors cannot be ignored, most human rights violations are perpetrated by states against their own citizens; the principal causes of the respect for and violation of human rights lie in national social and political structures.
Days of Defeat and Victory
Yegor Gaidar, the first post-Soviet prime minister of Russia and one of the principal architects of its historic transformation to a market economy, here presents his lively account of governing in the tumultuous early 1990s. Though still in his forties, Gaidar has already played a pivotal role in contemporary Russian political history, championing the cause of dramatic economic reform, aggressive privatization of state enterprises, and painful fiscal discipline in the face of widespread popular resistance. Gaidar’s youthfulness, energy, and daring are symbolic of a new phenomenon in Russian politics - the emergence of a younger generation of politicians with a distinctly technocratic bent...
Historical Dictionary of Russian and Soviet Cinema
Russian and Soviet cinema occupies a unique place in the history of world cinema. Legendary filmmakers such as Sergei Eisenstein, Vsevolod Pudovkin, Dziga Vertov, Andrei Tarkovsky, and Sergei Paradjanov have created oeuvres that are being screened and studied all over the world. The Soviet film industry was different from others because its main criterion of success was not profit, but the ideological and aesthetic effect on the viewer. Another important feature is Soviet cinema’s multinational (Eurasian) character: while Russian cinema was the largest, other national cinemas such as Georgian, Kazakh, and Ukrainian played a decisive role for Soviet cinema as a whole. The Historical Diction...
KSZE-Prozess und Perestroika in der Sowjetunion
Die sowjetische Führung war sich 1975 nach der Unterzeichnung der KSZE-Schlussakte ihres Erfolges sicher und feierte vor allem die Vereinbarungen über vertrauensbildende Maßnahmen. Dass der Kreml die Sprengkraft der Schlussakte in puncto Bürger- und Menschenrechte unterschätzt hatte und langfristig in einen beständig wachsenden Zugzwang der Demokratisierung geriet, zeigt Yuliya von Saals Studie. Eine besonders starke Wirkung entfalteten die Interdependenzen zwischen der sowjetischen KSZE-Politik und der Innenpolitik der UdSSR in der Perestroika-Ära unter Michail Gorbacev. Der KSZE-Prozess ermunterte die zentrifugalen Kräfte in der multiethnischen Sowjetunion, erweiterte den innersowjetischen Diskurs um das Thema "Menschenrechte" mit erodierenden Folgen für die Staatsideologie und stimulierte die gesellschaftliche Kritik am System. Insbesondere beförderte er die Liberalisierungspolitik der Reformer in der KPdSU und sicherte diese international ab.

Modern Origins
Over the last decade, Africa has taken a central position in the search for the timing and mechanisms leading to modern human origins, and the rich archaeological and human paleontological record of North Africa is critical to this search. In this volume, we bring together new research into the archaeology, human paleontology, chronology, and environmental context of modern human origins in North Africa. The result is a volume that better integrates the North African record into the modern human origins debate and at the same time highlights the research questions that are currently the focus of continued work in the area.
