520 1 $a"Focusing on his native Bulgaria, Venelin I. Genev explores in detail the weakening of the central state in post-Soviet Eastern Europe. Ganev starts with the structural characteristics of the Soviet satellites, and in particular the forms of elite agency favored in the socialist party-state. As state socialism collapsed, Ganev demonstrates, its institutional legacy presented functionaries who had become accustomed to power with a matrix of opportunities and constraints. In order to maximize their advantage under such conditions, these elites did not need a robust state apparatus - in fact, all of the incentives under postsocialism pushed them to subvert the infrastructure of governance."--BOOK JACKET.
