The collapse of state socialism in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union and the emergence of new political, social and economic structures has had a profound impact on various aspects of these societies. This book examines the impact of the social revolution. It is intended for those interested in transition from state socialism to capitalism.

Cities After Socialism is the first substantial and authoritative analysis of the role of cities in the transition to capitalism that is occurring in the former communist states of Easter Europe and the Soviet Union. It will be of equal value to urban specialists and to those who have a more general interest in the most dramatic socio-political event of the contemporary era - the collapse of state socialism. Written by an international group of leading experts in the field, Cities after socialism asks and answers some crucial questions about the nature of the emergent post-socialist urban system and the conflicts and inequalities which are being generated by the processes of change now occurring.

Gregory Andrusz,is Reader in Sociology at Middlesex University. Michael Harloeis Pro-Vice Chancellor (Academic & Research, Professor of Sociology at Essex University. Ivan Szelenyi is Professor of Sociology at UCLA.
