From Kurdistan to Somaliland, Xinjiang to South Yemen, all secessionist movements hope to secure newly independent states of their own. Most will not prevail. The existing scholarly wisdom provides one explanation for success, based on authority and control within the nascent states. With the aid of an expansive new dataset and detailed case studies, this book provides an alternative account. It argues that the strongest members of the international community have a decisive influence over whether today's secessionists become countries tomorrow and that, most often, their support is conditioned on parochial political considerations.

An assessment of the question of Soviet succession in Khrushchev's 68th year, the fourth year of his rule. The study indicates that a succession crisis is inevitable when Khrushchev ceases to exercise dictatorial powers. The depth of the crisis, however, will depend on certain circumstances at the time. Only if the Soviet regime is seriously weakened by such a crisis is it likely that Soviet foreign policy will be redirected from its primary aim of subverting the West and achieving a communist world order. Moreover, while economic and social progress poses a serious problem for the regime and is certain to have important political consequences, it cannot, in the author's view, change the regime's totalitarian character in the years ahead unless it is seriously weakened by a succession crisis.

Distinguished historian of the Soviet period Robert V. Daniels offers a penetrating survey of the evolution of the Soviet system and its ideology. In a tightly woven series of analyses written during his career-long inquiry into the Soviet Union, Daniels explores the Soviet experience from Karl Marx to Boris Yeltsin and shows how key ideological notions were altered as Soviet history unfolded. The book exposes a long history of American misunderstanding of the Soviet Union, leading up to the "grand surprise" of its collapse in 1991. Daniels's perspective is always original, and his assessments, some worked out years ago, are strikingly prescient in the light of post-1991 archival revelations. Soviet Communism evolved and decayed over the decades, Daniels argues, through a prolonged revolutionary process, combined with the challenges of modernization and the personal struggles between ideologues and power-grabbers.
