The Destruction of the Soviet Union

More about the book

The book explores the interconnectedness of the Soviet Union's collapse, radical reforms in China and Vietnam, and the ongoing crisis in East Asia, highlighting the impact of globalization on state-controlled economies. David Lockwood presents the Soviet Union's fall not as a singular historical event but as part of a broader global trend influenced by economic forces. He argues that globalization is a significant threat to remaining socialist states and newly industrialized countries in East Asia, reshaping their economic landscapes.
