The development of Europe accelerated from the middle of the
seventeenth century with the formation of the nation states and the
growth of empires. By the beginning of the twentieth century,
European empires dominated most of the world's surface - however,
the two world wars brought the continent down from its peak of
power. From 1945 to 1989, Europe lost its empires and fell under
the influence of the two superpowers, the USA and the USSR; but
with the decline and fall of the latter, Europe has since moved
towards a new unity. Paths to a New Europe considers the
development of the continent from its origins through premodern to
postmodern times, and provides a balanced treatment of Europe and
of its wider global setting. Within the overall division of East
and West Europe, each section is given due attention and Paul Dukes
shows how cultural traditions, along with socio-economic
differences and realignments of political power, have evolved over
the centuries, still exerting influence as Europe moves towards
unity after the collapse of the Eastern bloc and the end of the
Cold War.
