Beskrivning
This cutting-edge collection of essays analyzes the pivotal year of 1989 and the transformation processes that resulted from a historical perspective. It takes the events of that momentous year as a pivot to explore longer-term processes of economic, social, political, and cultural transformation linked to the rise of neoliberalism and globalization since the 1970s and enduring until now.Referencing the work of Karl Polanyi, the handbook advances four main arguments: that the “great transformation” presented here started earlier than 1989; that its legacies linger in spaces, practices, and objects; that in order to grasp the scale of what happened around 1989, it is important to bring Eastern and Central Europe into conversation with other global regions; and that the former Eastern Bloc served as an important node in a larger, global transformation. Insisting on the “Second World’s” place in the global history of the past five decades, this handbook challenges straightforward core-periphery dichotomies. The contributions to this volume provide different case studies—some national, some comparative, some international or global—each illustrating particular trends and developments.The handbook is directed at students and scholars of contemporary history of East Central Europe, of global and economic history, and at scholars of sociology, anthropology, and political science interested in post-1989 transformation, neoliberalism, and globalization.

"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
