Description
Focusing on events in Hungary and Poland from 1948 to 1962, Dr Sokolovsky shows why collectivization can best be understood as an element in state-building for the new regimes of Eastern Europe. For these countries policy options were constrained by dependence upon the Soviet Union and the economic demands of a newly industrializing society. Economically weak and politically isolated, the peasantry were unable to determine the fate of the collectivization movement as a whole, although they were able to extract significant concessions from the state.
