1. About these Conference Proceedings

 

The 10th Biennial Conference of the Australasian Association for Communist and Post-Communist Studies was held at the Australian National University’s Centre for Arab and Islamic Studies (The Middle East and Central Asia) on 3-4 February 2011. It brought together scholars, policymakers and journalists from all over the world who discussed various aspects of political, strategic, economic and cultural change in the wake of the implosion of the USSR.

 

In order to make the information and ideas presented at the conference promptly and widely available, participants in the conference were invited to submit written papers based on their presentation for inclusion in these refereed online conference proceedings.  Each paper submitted for consideration was peer-reviewed according to the requirements of the Australian Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR): it was sent to two scholars who were asked to provide a scholarly judgment on the paper’s suitability for publication. In order to expedite the timely dissemination of the ideas presented and deliberated at the Conference, papers were either accepted or rejected in the form in which they were submitted; there was no process of revision in response to comments by the referees.
