Abstract
This study will look at the advancements made by the transitional economies of Central and Eastern Europe and the difficulties that they still face. In the end, it is clear that the transition from communism to capitalism has enjoyed several successes. Using the yardstick of appearances, evidence of this can be seen in the huge steps made by many of the countries, some of which now resemble those of Western Europe. Beneath this facade, however, it is most certain that the re-learning process involved with transition still has significant obstacles ahead of it. This is so for all CEE countries; some more than others. A generation may pass until the battle with the past is really over.

Abstract
German reunification was one of the greatest events of the 20th century. But while the entire German population basked in the bliss of initial euphoria, the rest of the world viewed this event with great deal of skepticism. This skepticism originated from transition gurus' ability to see beyond the excitement and at the real reasons why East Germany had opted for unification after several decades of socialist rule. East Germany was riddled with numerous social and economic problems and thus had unification as the only viable choice left at its disposal. The paper studies the reasons behind East Germany's desire to be reunited with its western brother.

Abstract
This paper will trace aspects of the centralizing process with reference to social and economic systems in an attempt to illustrate the difficulty, if not impossibility, of sustaining the Soviet regime as it was. As such, it was only a matter of time before the U.S.S.R imploded, unable to maintain either the requisite coercion or economic controls to keep modernizing, nationalist, or secessionist forces under control. Special emphasis will be placed on events pertaining to the latter half of the twentieth century where the powerful center began to lose its grip on the union piecemeal. The focus of this paper will highly aspects of two central problems in the Soviet Union: first, the regional economic disparities; and second, the ethnic and nationalistic upheavals that brought the Soviet Union, already teetering precariously on the brink of collapse, to its final collapse.

Abstract
This paper takes a brief look at the transition from communism to capitalism in Russia from the perspective of the social contract. It finds that, while there has been a shift from rule by conquest to one by consensus and while Russia does have a functioning electoral democracy, there remains no liberal democracy. Coupled with the lack of economic hope, it is difficult for the polity to feel any confidence in the new social contract. Some anticipate a return to authoritarian rule, others suggest that this is no longer possible. In any case, Russia is again in a situation where the state may be unable to deliver on its end of the bargain.
