postcommunism  

Definición

  • Postcommunism has at least two meanings; according to Richard Sakwa, the narrower one refers to the situation in countries formerly under socialist or communist rule, while the broader one can be a shorthand term for metanarratives of the world beyond the cold war. In its narrower, more common meaning, the term captures the unique period in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union between what is known as the fall of communism and a still uncertain horizon in the future when all major idiosyncrasies of communism disappear.
