1989 signifies the collapse of Soviet communism and the end of the
Cold War, a moment generally recognized as a triumph for liberal
democracy and when capitalism became global. The Global 1989
challenges these ideas. An international group of prominent scholars
investigate the mixed, paradoxical and even contradictory outcomes
engendered by these events, unravelling the intricacies of this
important moment in world history. Although the political, economic
and cultural orders generated have, for the most part, been an
improvement on what was in place before, this has not always been
clear cut: 1989 has many meanings, many effects and multiple
trajectories. This volume leads the way in defining how 1989 can be
assessed both in terms of its world historical impact and in terms of
its contribution to the shape of contemporary world politics.
