Beskrivning

For far too long, views of Eastern Europe as a negligible and peripheral region have shaped popular perceptions of this part of the world. Presenting new research, Globalizing Eastern Europe: Politics, Culture and Economics from the 18th to the 21st Century offers refreshing arguments to counter such misconceptions. Global politics and international law have been profoundly shaped by the experiences and expertise that emanated from this region. Migration to and from Eastern Europe, has fostered deep ties with neighbouring and distant societies, as have this area’s literature and music. The importance of its agricultural development has reverberated in the global economy. This volume recasts Eastern Europe as a global region. It shows how people from this part of the world shaped the 'global', and how in turn, the 'global' shaped them. Authors from a range of disciplines, chart century-long traditions of entanglements and contemporary interactions. In doing so, this book further enriches the perennial debates regarding this region’s spatial boundaries.

Recensioner i media

It is no coincidence that the cover of this book features Warsaw, a city caught between East and West, different cultures and languages, ‘globalized’ for centuries, voluntarily and forcibly, by Poles and Jews, Russians and Germans. At least until the early 1990s, I associated this city, where my family has lived for five generations, not so much with globalization as with isolation and backwardness. This book, pioneering and surprising, allows me to verify this view and look at Eastern Europe from a different, non-stereotypical side. It shows how diverse, innovative, and at the same time hardly noticed and appreciated the region's contribution to the global sphere of ideas, science or culture is. It demonstrates the need to look holistically, broadly, and deeply, and it teaches but also warns—a must-read for these difficult times.
