Transformations in Central Europe between 1989 and 2012:
Geopolitical, Cultural, and Socioeconomic Shifts by Tomas
Kavaliauskas, is an in-depth study of the transformations in
Central Europe in the years since the fall of Communism. Using a
comparative analysis of geopolitical, ethical, cultural, and
socioeconomic shifts, this essential text investigates
postcommunist countries including Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania,
Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria,
and Slovenia. Next to transitological interpretations, this study
ventures upon negative and positive freedom (Isaiah Berlin) in
Central Europe after two decades of post-communist transition.
Kavaliauskas questions the meaning of completeness of postcommunist
transition, both geopolitical and socioeconomic, when there are
many transformations that do not necessarily mean unequivocal
progress. The author also analyses why Central Europe in 1989,
armed with civil disobedience, could not maintain its moral
politics. But the book touches sensitive issues of memory as well:
an examination of May 9th is provided from the Russian and the
Baltic perspectives, revealing two opposing world views regarding
this date of liberation or occupation. Finally, Kavaliauskas
analyzes the tragedy at Smolensk airport, which became an
inseparable part of Central European identity. Transformations in
Central Europe between 1989 and 2012 is an essential contribution
to the literature on Central Europe and the lasting effects of
Communism and its aftermath.
