First published in 1999, this book examines the construction of new
political, economic and mental borders in post-Cold War Europe.
Various national and regional settings are analyzed along the old
East-West divide. In post-Cold War Europe the East-West divide no
longer exists in the form of the clear-cut Iron Curtain, separating
two security blocs, two politico-economic systems, and two
ideologically and culturally distinct worlds. Still, it remains
clearly discernible, both in the form of unrelenting
politico-cultural differences and as an economic Golden Curtain. At
the same time, a more complicated system of intersecting political,
economic and mental borders keeps developing. Today, there are
various scales of interaction, which produce distinctive national,
regional and local experiences of borders. In this book, the
construction of new political, economic and mental borders is
analysed by specialists from both sides of the former East-West
divide. The future of European borders is discussed in various
national and regional settings, from the Barents Region in the
North to the Old Habsburgian lands in 'Mitteleuropa'.
