• W303530210 abstract "Demokratizatsiya has exceeded the expectations of the American University students who hatched the idea in the university dorms eleven years ago. (1) They wanted to start a journal devoted exclusively to the changes under way in the Soviet Union. Nothing they found on the library's shelves could satisfy their curiosity. No journal was consistently addressing those changes. The three main schools of American University (with the leadership of deans Goodman, Kerwin, and Bennett), provided the initial capital to launch Demokratizatsiya. Louise Shelley, J. Michael Waller, and Nikolai Zlobin were recruited as the journal's editors. An impressive editorial board linking the United States and Russia was formed. American University and Moscow State University became partners in this intellectual effort. The policy approach of the journal was also covered by the International Freedom Foundation and later by the American Foreign Policy Council, both of which assumed critical roles in editing and financing the journal. An application was made to Heldref Publications, a division of the Helen Dwight Reid Educational Foundation, which publishes academic journals that would not be viable as stand-alone projects. Demokratizatsiya could then concentrate on editorial matters, leaving production and distribution to the professional editors and production staff at Heldref. The president of the foundation, Ambassador Jeane J. Kirkpatrick, supported the journal, and Heldref acquired Demokratizatsiya in 1994. Managing Editor Joyce Horn, and later also Melody Warnick, provided many hours and much skill at managing the production of each issue. Heldref's broad distribution system also allowed it to reach a wider audience. Demokratizatsiya was the first journal of its kind dedicated exclusively to the study of the sociopolitical transformation in the newly independent states (NIS) of the former Its goal was not only to attract the traditional Sovietologists but also to engage in a paradigm shift by inviting specialists in other fields (law, aid, policy, other regions, and so forth) who were coming in contact with the new countries to share their views and their experiences. Demokratizatsiya took only half seriously the axiom that if you want to understand Russia, forget everything you learned about the USSR. It has followed an interdisciplinary approach with articles written by sociologists, political scientists, demographers, historians, legal experts, and policymakers, among others. The approach is reflected in articles penned by renowned Sovietologists such as Michael McFaul, Louise Shelley, Blair Ruble, Peter Reddaway, and Timothy Colton, and by emerging scholars such as J. Michael Waller and Andrew Bennett. Experts from other fields have included Catherine Barnes (on elections) and Jaroslav Basta (on Czechoslovak lustration), and policymakers such as Mikhail Gorbachev, Mart Laar, Askar Akaev, Paula Dobriansky, and Paul Goble, as well as future leaders (one hopes) such as Iurie Rosca and Vladimir Lysenko. We sought to make the journal a genuine democratic and diverse forum that reflects a broad spectrum of views, and in essence, we have done so. Scholars from the NIS, unaccustomed to this approach, complain that they do not understand where the journal stands. But that is a compliment because our goal is to be nonpartisan and to give equal time to many and varied analyses and predictions about the path of democratization in the post-Soviet world. Demokratizatsiya has usually had three or four executive editors who agree only on their commitment to study in depth the transitions in the NIS. The backgrounds of the current editors hint at their diversity (and yes, it was founded by a twenty-two-year old Mexican, but we never boast that). This ensures that it will not be seen, as many other periodicals, as somebody's mouthpiece. Nevertheless, the three original executive editors left their lasting influence on the journal. …" @default.
