"Why did neoliberalism triumph and endure in the post-communist world?." Comparative Politics 48.3 (2016): 313-331. ["No region has embraced neoliberalism as enthusiastically and persistently as postCommunist Europe and Eurasia. The widespread adoption of neoliberal policies in the former Communist world over the last twenty-five years is unparalleled in speed and scope. This sustained embrace overturns conventional wisdom about the politics of economic reform in transition countries. At the outset of transition, scholars and practitioners anticipated a host of political, cultural, and institutional obstacles to liberalization in Eastern Europe and Eurasia. In particular, they emphasized the incompatibility of sudden democratization and economic liberalization.1"] Ganev, Venelin I.
