Beschreibung
The countries of the larger region of Eastern Europe pass
through change and “modernization” processes with
ambivalent
effects. This book tackles aspects of cultural diversity and
change in the Baltic States, in Southeast Europe and in the
Southern Caucasus. These regions are diverse not only with
regard to their historical, political and religious
traditions but also with regard to their status as
EU-members or non-members. The articles focus on the
situation of ethnic minorities and related political and
public discourses as well as on aspects of political
cultures. The anthology also raises the topic of cleavages
between geographic Eastern Europe and Europe’s “reunited”
part.
