Abstract: | This is the revised second edition of "The World Since 1945" (first published in the mid-1980s). The updated material, making it clear that the post-war era has come to an end, takes the story up to the historic February 1990 plenum of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, when the party agreed to abandon its monopoly on political power. As well as offering an historical interpretation of the late 1980s in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, the book also looks at important other developments in China, Japan, the Middle East, Central America and elsewhere. This book is designed for introductory courses in international relations and world history. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. |
