"The Routledge Handbook of 1989 and the Great Transformation brings together different strands of research and a wide range of scalar and temporal perspectives to offer a multifaceted view of post-1989 transformations in Eastern Europe and beyond. Moving between global frameworks and local experiences, the volume explores how the political, economic, social, and cultural changes unleashed in 1989 have reshaped the world we live in today. Interdisciplinary in scope and accessible in style, it provides students and researchers with fresh insights into the lasting legacies of the end of state socialism."- Joanna Wawrzyniak, University of Warsaw"The transformations of 1989 and their aftermath continue to attract broad scholarly and popular attention, in part because their pasts have not passed and are very much alive today in many different forms. This well-conceived and timely volume offers the most up to date research and analysis of 1989's shifting legacy for our time, both for Europe and the wider world, and will be of great interest to anyone concerned about the roots of our present political moment." - Paul Betts, University of Oxford
