We published the first edition with the University of Washington Press and
it has been a very popular resource, providing information about many
hundreds of reform-oriented, noncommercial projects in post-Soviet
societies. We want the second edition to be even better than the first.
For this, we need your help!!

projects there, to send us the information requested below as soon as
possible. The key points of information needed are as follows.

In addition to THE POST-SOVIET HANDBOOK, CCSI intendsthis time to publish
