The End and the Beginning - The Revolutions of 1989 and the Resurgence of History (Hardcover)

A state of the art reassessment of the significance and consequences of the events associated with the year 1989 and the demise of communist regimes. The book provides an analysis that takes into account the complexities of the Soviet bloc, the events' impact upon Europe, and their re-interpretation within a larger global context. The twenty years since 1989 have brought about a flurry of scholarly production on the causes, meanings, and consequences of this watershed moment of world history.

The book emphasizes the possibility for re-thinking and re-visiting the filters and means that scholars use to interpret such turning point. The editors perceive the present project as a challenge to existing readings on the complex set of issues and topics presupposed by a re-evaluation of 1989 as a symbol of the change and transition from authoritarianism to democracy.
