Description

A study of perhaps one of the most important political institutions of the erstwhile Soviet political system - the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU). It discusses the reforms which the institution and the political leadership comprising it underwent under Perestroika. Tracing the historical background of the evolution of the Central Committee since its early days up to the beginning of Perestroika, the book undertakes a comparative analysis of the committee at the threshold of Perestroika and the principles governing its constitution, organization and working, its transformation until the time it ceases to exist, the issues involved in the reforms and their bearing on this metamorphosis.
