GOVERNMENTS
A WORLD SURVEY
VOLUME 1
ALBANIA-THE CONGO
The growing number and global significance of
Marxist governments throughout the world,
now numbering twenty-seven, present those
interested in contemporary political
developments with an increasing challenge. For
a number of years writers on communism have
concentrated on the Soviet Union, Eastern
Europe and China, and ignored the steady
increase of communism elsewhere in the world.
This publication is unique in several respects.
For the first time it places the Marxist-Leninist
regimes alongside each other, making possible
their comprehensive comparison. It shows that,
depending on a variety of historical, cultural
and political factors, the fundamental
Marxist-Leninist ideology has assumed different
forms at different times and in different places.
It also demonstrates the rich diversity among
those societies where attempts to synthesize
ideology and national realities have often meant
distinctive approaches and solutions to the
problems of social, political and economic
development.
Twenty-five specialists from eight countries
spanning four continents have participated in
this joint venture. The geographical diversity of
the authors, combined with the fact that as a
group they represent many disciplines of social
science, gives this collection an additional and
unusual dimension. Furthermore, it provides
the reader with a novel opportunity to compare
the entire spectrum of communist governments,
from the oldest (the USSR) to the youngest
(Ethiopia).
Volume One covers Albania, Angola, Benin,
Bulgaria, China and the Congo.
