From Estonia to Macedonia, this book is a history of 15 countries
as they negotiate their transition from communism. For some, the
story ends happily, with triumphant entry into the European Union
in 2004.Others are caught in limbo, destroyed by nationalist
politics, war and genocide, or crippled by corrupt political
practices. The Burdens of Freedom considers the effects of
revolutionary change, the resurgence of nationalism and the painful
examination of the past. It looks at the process of building stable
democratic states, and their integration with international
structures. Most of the countries have established admission to the
EU as a national objective; but many of them have also been active
participants in the American-led occupation of Iraq. Domestically,
each has seen a divide emerge between winners and losers. All are
moving forward simultaneously to democracy, unity and prosperity,
but also to national division and economic disparity.
