The politico-economic relations between the European Union (EU) and
Eastern Europe are currently entering a new phase, which some
scholars qualify as a revival of the Cold War. This insightful book
seeks to explain whether and why a Cold War Europe has returned and
discusses underlying factors that clarify the relations between
East and West since the Second World War. Nienke de Deugd and
Herman W. Hoen comprehensively address the problematic process of
EU integration, discussing crucial political, economic and
security-related developments during and after the Cold War. De
Deugd and Hoen draw attention to the path-dependent nature of
European market reform and the processes of democratization in
Eastern Europe as key factors in complicating post-communist
transformation. Considering the alternating historical developments
between rapprochement and estrangement, they illustrate underlying
irreconcilable political-economic systems that have disrupted
relations between the EU and Eastern Europe. This book is a crucial
read for students of political science and international relations,
particularly those focused on post-communist transformation looking
for a wide-ranging overview of the dynamics of transformation and
integration in post-Cold War Europe.
