Now in a fully updated edition, this essential text explores the
post-communist half of Europe and the problems and potential it
brings to the world stage. Clear and comprehensive, the book offers
an authoritative and current analysis of the region's
transformations and realities-from pre-communist history to the
victories and reversals in Central and Eastern Europe, the Baltics,
and Ukraine, including the Euromaidan and its domestic and
international ramifications. Divided into two parts, the book
presents a set of comparative country case studies as well as
thematic chapters on key issues, including EU and NATO expansion,
the economic transition and its social ramifications, the role of
women, persistent problems of ethnicity and nationalism, legacies
of the past, and political reform. Leading scholars provide the
crucial historical context necessary to evaluate the challenges
facing the region. They explain how communism ended and how
democratic politics has developed or is struggling to emerge in its
wake, how individual countries have transformed their economies,
how their populations have been affected by rapid and wrenching
change, and how foreign policy making has evolved. They explore the
reversals and conflicts that have emerged even in the most
successful transitions and their relevance to our understanding of
political transitions and democratic consolidation in general. For
students and specialists alike, this book will be an invaluable
resource on the politics and economics of Central and Eastern
Europe, caught between the EU and a resurgent Russia.
