The collapse of the Berlin Wall has come to represent the entry of
an isolated region onto the global stage. On the contrary, this
study argues that communist states had in fact long been shapers of
an interconnecting world, with '1989' instead marking a choice by
local elites about the form that globalisation should take.
Published to coincide with the thirtieth anniversary of the 1989
revolutions, this work draws on material from local archives to
international institutions to explore the place of Eastern Europe
in the emergence, since the 1970s, of a new world order that
combined neoliberal economics and liberal democracy with
increasingly bordered civilisational, racial and religious
identities. An original and wide-ranging history, it explores the
importance of the region's links to the West, East Asia, Africa,
and Latin America in this global transformation, reclaiming the
era's other visions such as socialist democracy or authoritarian
modernisation which had been lost in triumphalist histories of
market liberalism.
