Beskrivning

Now in a fully revised and updated edition, this essential text provides a comprehensive introduction to Central and Eastern Europe, including the Baltics and Ukraine. Broad but nuanced, it offers a reader-friendly overview of the globally and regionally significant changes and challenges the region faces. Divided into two parts, the book first presents thematic chapters on key issues, including nationalism and challenges to democratic institutions and practices, the contentious politics of memory, debates over demography and migration in a region with a shrinking population, and Russian efforts to retain regional influence through hard and soft power. The case-study chapters that follow highlight key political developments after communism as well as providing a strong foundation for readers on regional history and the political and economic experiences of the communist years. Each covers the foundational topics of political history, political competition, economic development, social problems, relationships with European institutions, and threats to good governance. For students and specialists alike, this book will be an invaluable resource on this dynamic region of Europe.

Recensioner i media

The declared aim of this textbook is to ‘illuminate contemporary politics in Central and East Europe and to provide insights into regional paradoxes, as well as past accomplishments, current developments, and future challenges’ (p. 4). There is no question that the editors of the volume and the authors of the individual chapters have accomplished this end. Throughout the book, they present an accessible yet sufficiently in-depth treatment of relevant issues that builds on and adds to the strengths of previous editions. Packed with useful features (such as discussion questions at the end of every chapter), the book presents an ideal and timely resource for students, lecturers and researchers alike. Amidst renewed interest in the region, it will undoubtedly be an invaluable companion for those wishing to gain a better understanding of CEE.
