Communist Party Membership in the U.S.S.R.
Author: Thomas Henry Rigby
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691198543
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 600
Book Description
In this comprehensive and latest statistical profile of the membership of the Communist Party during the first half-century of the Soviet regime, Professor Rigby analyzes the history of party recruitment and composition. Since the party makes vital contributions to the performance of several basic tasks within the Soviet political system, the author interprets his data mainly in functional terms. He identifies and evaluates the influence of these functional considerations on recruitment policies and on the changing patterns of membership, and determines the priorities assigned to different functions under changing circumstances. T.H. Rigby is Professor of Political Science, Research School of Social Science, Australian National University. Studies of the Russian Institute, Columbia University. Originally published in 1968. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Guide to the Decisions of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union 1917-1967
Author: Robert McNeal
Publisher: University of Toronto Press
ISBN: 9781487579012
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
A ‘decision’ of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union occupies a central place in the party and in the Soviet system. At times, it is the internal law of the party, at times the command issued by the party to some branch of the state or society. Scholars have long been aware of the importance of these documents in the study of all aspects of soviet affairs, but there has not hitherto existed – even in Russia – any systematic compilation of decisions, or any listing of bibliographic sources. This book lists, in chronological order, the almost four thousand CPSU decisions made from 1917 to 1967. Each entry indicates where the entire text of the decision may be found, and an index locates decisions by subject area. The listing and index are in Russian. An introduction in English explains the nature of party decisions and their place in Soviet politics.

Authority and Control in International Communism
Author: Bernard S. Morris
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351315064
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 105
Book Description
Contrary to the American public image of international communism as monolithic, the history of communism has been one of increasingly frequent deviation and dissension - punctuated by a process of defection and expulsion of individuals and entire national parties. In examining the fragmentation of communism as a movement, Bernard S. Morris focuses on the breakdown of its structure of authority as exercised through the organs of control. He analyzes factors contributing to the initial cohesion and later disintegration of the communist movement. The author demonstrates how the artificial attempt to maintain the Marxian vision of world revolution through the agency of the Soviet system faltered and ultimately failed. He shows how tensions between communist doctrine and foreign policy, coupled with the unexpected viability of the capitalist system in the West, accelerated pluralism within the communist movement. This led to Yugoslavia's assertion of independence, the rise of polycentrism in the post-Stalinist era, and the Russo-Chinese split. As we have seen, it ultimately led to the demise of the Soviet Union itself. Morris contends that the collapse of international communist unity underscores the inexorable hold of nationalism on human loyalties. He points out that American policy's obsession with international communism frustrated the development of a realistic policy toward radical nationalist movements which, because they were identified with communism, became equally suspect. Written by an experienced scholar and political analyst, this highly informative work skillfully balances a chronological account with a searching examination of the evolution and gradual disintegration of the dream of world revolution.
