MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: The objective of this work is to critically discuss the collapse of Real Socialism in Eastern Europe through a perspective that brings together external and internal causes. The method employed for this is historical prospecting based on data and literature on the subject. The results indicate that the economic, social, and political contradictions of Real Socialism were the main causes for the end of this social regime. To achieve its objective, this work is divided into sections, which are organized according to a chronological order.
