Welcome to IDEE's archived web site. This site (www.idee.org) is the original web page of IDEE and contains posts from 1998-2014, including all of its activity reports, descriptions of programs, publications and articles,
country resource pages, and a photogallery. It was last updated November 8, 2014. For all current posts, including for IDEE's "25 Years After 1989-91: Reflections on Unfinished Revoulitions" project, see its new web site www.idee-us.org. The site will also host newly digitalized publications and materials from IDEE's archives being deposited at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University.
