Divided into sections on ideology, power, and politics, this collection of essays attempts to understand, from a neo-Marxist and postmodern perspective, the effect that the collapse of Soviet power will have on these elements of our world. Although the title implies that the collection considers the post-1989 world, many of the articles were written before that date. To all intents and purposes, this is an exact reproduction of the current issue (Vol. 15, No. 1/3) of the Krokers' Canadian Journal of Political and Social Theory . Its publication in the monographic series "CultureTexts" is an opportunity for those libraries which do not subscribe to the journal but which do collect in the areas of postmodernism, cultural theory, and Canadian and post-Cold War political theory to acquire some useful articles from theorists like Jean Baudrillard, Jurgen Habermas, and Anthony Giddens.
