Belarus and Moldova : Country Studies [first edition]

Belarus and Moldova, two nations on the western border of what was once the Soviet Union, are examined in this volume. The marked relaxation of information restrictions since the late 1980s have allowed extensive reporting on many areas of life. The authors describe the historical, political and social background of the countries, as well as the five main topics: historical setting, the society and its environment, the economy, government and politics, and national security.
