About this title

Synopsis

This book delves into the complexities of Eastern Europe, exploring its diverse subregions and their unique political, historical, and cultural trajectories. From the geopolitically volatile Balkans to the EU-integrated Baltic States, the work examines the lasting effects of the East-West divide and its impact on contemporary relations. Through interdisciplinary perspectives, the authors investigate how the past shapes current political tensions, such as anti-Western sentiments and the rise of populism. Key themes like nationalism, migration, memory politics, and democracy are explored, shedding light on the region's evolving identity. This collection critically reflects the post-communist transformations and the future of Central and Eastern Europe within the broader European context.
