Today a friend asked on whether post-Soviet transition was over. I thought it was, for a number of reasons. He then asked whether I had any reference, to substantiate the point. There will be plenty of scholarly references, but in addition, it's good to see what think tanks say. If the argument has been made in ways that are cogent for policy makers, this is a great point of reference.
And indeed, right there a result we can immediately use, from the Carnegie Endowment. That's why Find Policy can be a great resource, when you are looking for quality sources on important issues.
