Beschreibung
The year 1989 marks an upheaval in Central and Eastern Europe and stands
for a radical change in such spheres as society, economy, politics and
culture in this region. The volume presents a collection of articles and
analyses exploring a broad range of aspects of post-1989 developments
ranging from historical legacies and politics of history, changing values
and mentality, old and new inequalities, elites and European integration,
written by recognised social scientists from both Eastern and Western
Europe. The chapters included in the volume present not only recent
advances and findings, but also state-of-the-art of research and emerging
trends and future challenges in the above-mentioned areas.
