This volume compares different regional perspectives on the
national and democracy-building aims of individual states. It
confronts discourses about national states to regional perspectives
on the past as well as the current political and social landscape.
Why are we observing calls for national identity right now? What
are the roots of this development? How can a Central European
identity be shaped when national perspectives are prevalent?The
books first part analyses social and political processes that
shaped nation-states in the Central European region and shows
divergent trends of individual states when it comes to defining a
regional approach of the Visegrad Group (Poland, Czech Republic,
Slovakia, Hungary = V4). The second part focuses on key
personalities of the 20th century history of individual V4
countries in the light of their perception in the neighbouring
states and how they shaped national states as well as identities
after the end of World War II. Similar aims and approaches
implemented by individual countries often led to anything but
raising regional understanding. The books third part reflects upon
activities of various initiatives aiming to approach this challenge
from the perspective of civil society, and Central Europes young
generation. The collection brings together leading historians of
Central Europe from the V4 countries. It also offers external
perspectives on historical developments in Central Europe from the
perspective of the 21st century and on political cooperation as
well as its roots. Lastly, it includes practitioners of Central
European cooperation from both academia and civil society, and
their reflection on their countries political cooperation after
1989.
