"Transitions": the last issue

The last issue of "Transitions: Changes in Post-Communist Societies" (Vol.4
No.1 June 1997) has been released recently. This journal (which's publishe
is Jan Urban and which is, in my view, the most serious of all numerous
similar publications) is quite voluminous, and it is not easy to review the
content even of a single issue. This is why, I will just mention some of the
publications:  

>From the editor (Michael T.Kaufman) - "Of Transition(s), Internationalism
and Change" (overview of journals and other editions named Transitions)

Asia, Slovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria, etc)

David Rieff, "Same Game Second Round" by Bruce Pannier, Adam Michnik's
interview with Nursultan Nazarbayev)

former Yugoslavia and the dubious 'peace' in Bosnia have dimmed hopes not
only for multiethnic unity in that region but throughout Europe, both East
and West")
