History

Previously published as Communist Affairs (1962–1967) and Studies in Comparative Communism (1968–1992), following the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of communist regimes in Eastern Europe. The name change reflected an expansion of the journal's focus from comparative studies of communist systems to the broader field of post-communist transformation.
