Leon Marc gives the reader the big picture of Eastern Europe - its
political, economic, social and cultural history, the nature of
changes there and of the issues at stake in the political and
economic transition - while putting the fall of the Berlin Wall and
the EU enlargement into a broader perspective of general European
history. Three key strands of Eastern Europe - Central Europe,
Eastern Europe proper and Southeast Europe - are identified and the
Germanic, Byzantine and Ottoman influences on the region are
examined. Illiberal Europe? is written in an accessible,
non-academic way, addressing the stereotypes about the region and
their roots and explaining why the notion of Eastern Europe is now
obsolete and misleading. It gives an Eastern European's
perspective, and is informed by the author's own personal
experience of the changes that brought the Wall down. This updated
and expanded edition contains a brand new chapter bringing this
book up to date with recent events, including Covid-19 and the
Ukrainian conflict.
