Ministeriet för statssäkerhet, allmänt känt som Stasi, var Östtysklands säkerhets- och underrättelsetjänst. År 1980 hade organisation vuxit till den största underrättelseverksamheten i världen, räknat per capita, och omfattade en rad olika funktioner relaterade till säkerhet, övervakning och förtryck. På samma gång övergripande och detaljerat berättas här historien om Stasi, en fruktad men också högst professionell underrättelseverksamhet, från rötterna efter andra världskrigets slut till det officiella inrättandet 1950 och den formella nedläggningen 1990. Författaren undersöker diktaturens mekanismer och hur det dagliga livet i DDR påverkades av den omfattande övervakningen och misstänksamheten. Boken har blivit något av ett standardverk och översatts till ett flertal språk.

"oumbärlig för var och en som vill förstå hur kontrollstaten DDR fungerade" Jan Christensen, Göteborgs-Posten

"ett standardverk i ordets bästa bemärkelse och en påminnelse om att verkligheten ibland är mer intrikat och intressant än dikten" Fredrik Persson-Lahusen, Aftonbladet

"mycket läsvärd skildring [...] flera intressanta aspekter av den gigantiska övervakningsapparaten" Linus Hellman, Skaraborgs Allehanda

A well-balanced and detailed look at the East German Ministry for State Security, the secret police force more commonly known as the Stasi.“This is an excellent book, full of careful, balanced judgements and a wealth of concisely-communicated knowledge. It is also well written. Indeed, it is the best book yet published on the MfS.”—German HistoryThe Stasi stood for Stalinist oppression and all-encompassing surveillance. The “shield and sword of the party,” it secured the rule of the Communist Party for more than forty years, and by the 1980s it had become the largest secret-police apparatus in the world, per capita.Jens Gieseke tells the story of the Stasi, a feared secret-police force and a highly professional intelligence service. He inquires into the mechanisms of dictatorship and the day-to-day effects of surveillance and suspicion. Masterful and thorough at once, he takes the reader through this dark chapter of German postwar history, supplying key information on perpetrators, informers, and victims. In an assessment of post-communist memory politics, he critically discusses the consequences of opening the files and the outcomes of the Stasi debate in reunified Germany.A major guide for research on communist secret-police forces, this book is considered the standard reference work on the Stasi.

Communist Parties Revisited

Sociocultural Approaches to Party Rule in the Soviet Bloc, 1956-1991

The ruling communist parties of the postwar Soviet Bloc possessed nearly unprecedented power to shape every level of society; perhaps in part because of this, they have been routinely depicted as monolithic, austere, and even opaque institutions. Communist Parties Revisited takes a markedly different approach, investigating everyday life within basic organizations to illuminate the inner workings of Eastern Bloc parties. Ranging across national and transnational contexts, the contributions assembled here reconstruct the rituals of party meetings, functionaries’ informal practices, intra-party power struggles, and the social production of ideology to give a detailed account of state socialist policymaking on a micro-historical scale.

Silent Majority in Communist and Post-Communist States

Opinion Polling in Eastern and South-Eastern Europe

This book takes stock of opinion polls in communist and post-communist states, presents specific case studies and answers the question how opinion polls under conditions of censorship and lack of media pluralism differ from those in liberal democratic societies. These polls were mostly used by the ruling establishment to observe shifts in popular opinion and to anticipate protests. They were hardly presented publicly to inform citizens about the prevailing views in their society. Today, these polls often display stories about everyday life, opinion shifts and the legitimacy of state institutions which cannot be derived from other sources.
