This monograph focuses on the challenges that interwar regimes
faced and how they coped with them in the aftermath of World War
One, focusing especially on the failure to establish and stabilize
democratic regimes, as well as on the fate of ethnic and religious
minorities. Topics explored include the political systems and how
they changed during the two decades under review, land reform,
Church-state relations, and culture. Countries studied include
Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Romania, Bulgaria, and
Albania. "Sabrina Ramet has assembled a team of highly respectable
country specialists to offer a fresh and historiographically
updated reading of interwar developments in East Central Europe.
The volume is bookended by two excellent comparative and
theoretically informed essays carefully weighing the multiplicity
of factors contributing to the instability of the interwar regimes.
As a result this survey succeeds admirably in producing a nuanced
narrative and analysis." - Maria Todorova, University of Illinois
at Urbana-Champaign, USA Sabrina Ramet, together with a roster of
other eminent scholars, has produced an exciting new history of
interwar East Central Europe. The volume has a clear focus on the
failure of democracy (1918 to 1941), and on the bedeviling issues
of ethnic minorities and of peasants; the latter made up an
overwhelming majority of much of the region's population. The book
will be of great interest to political scientists and historians of
East Central Europe, and of Europe more generally, and it is
perfect for classroom use. - Irina Livezeanu, University of
Pittsburgh, USA
