This book presents a concise and comprehensive overview of the
mainstream flows of ideas, politics and itineraries towards
modernity in Central and Eastern Europe and the Balkans over two
centuries from the beginning of the nineteenth century to the end
of the Gorbachev administration. Unlike other books on the subject
which view modernity based on the idea of Western European
supremacy, this book outlines the various different pathways of
development, and of growing industrialisation, urbanisation and
secularisation which took place across the region. It provides rich
insights on the complex networks whereby very varied ideas,
aspirations and policies interacted to bring about a varied pattern
of progress, and of integration and isolation, with different areas
moving in different ways and at different paces. Overall the book
presents something very different from the traditional picture of
the" two Europes". Particular examples covered include agrarian
reform movements, in various phases, different models of socialism,
and different models of socialist reform.
