Back in 1989, many anticipated that the end of the Cold War would
usher in the 'end of history' characterized by the victory of
democracy and capitalism. At the thirtieth anniversary of this
momentous event, this book challenges this assumption. It studies
the most recent era of contemporary European history in order to
analyse the impact, consequences and legacy of the end of the Cold
War for Western Europe. Bringing together leading scholars on the
topic, the volume answers the question of how the end of the Cold
War has affected Western Europe and reveals how it accelerated and
reinforced processes that shaped the fragile (geo-)political and
economic order of the continent today. In four thematic sections,
the book analyses the changing position of Germany in Europe;
studies the transformation of neoliberal capitalism; answers the
question how Western Europe faced the geopolitical challenges after
the Berlin Wall came down; and investigates the crisis of
representative democracy. As such, the book provides a
comprehensive and novel historical perspective on Europe since the
late 1980s.
