Nomenklatura 2012: les nouveaux décideurs

In: Politique étrangère: PE ; revue trimestrielle publiée par l'Institut Français des Relations Internationales, Band 77, Heft 3, S. 551-560

Abstract

The term nomenklatura, which supposedly disappeared with communism, continues to exist in the political vocabulary of Eastern European countries. The decision makers that now run these countries are a combination of heirs of the dissidence and young elites trained mostly in the West. The origin of these new elites explains the particular positions they adopt with respect to economics, the strategic choices they favor for the construction of Europe, and for the defense of their national interests.(Politique étrangère (Paris) / SWP)
