商品簡介
Five years have passed since ten countries from Central and Eastern Europe joined the European Union and twenty years since the Berlin Wall was torn down in 1989 - but much of Eastern Europe is still an enigma to many: Slovenia still gets mixed up with Slovakia, the Slays remain a mystery in a Europe apparently dominated by Romanic and Germanic nations, and a country like Czech Republic is labelled as Eastern European, although one needs to travel west to get from Vienna to Prague.
What's So Eastern About Eastern Europe? gives the reader the big picture of Eastern Europe - its political, economic, social and cultural history, the nature of changes there and of the issues at stake in the political and economic transition - while putting the fall of the Berlin Wall and the EU enlargement into a broader perspective of general European history. Three key strands of Eastern Europe - Central Europe, Eastern Europe proper and Southeast Europe - are identified and the Germanic, Byzantine and Ottoman influences on the region are examined.
What's So Eastern About Eastern Europe? addresses the stereotypes about the region and their roots; it also explains why the notion of Eastern Europe is now obsolete and misleading. It is accessible to readers without prior knowledge of the region and in addition and contrast to most books available in English on the subject, it gives an Eastern European's perspective.
'Comprehensively and concisely, Leon Marc's book presents readers with vital insights into the different dimensions of our common European history and culture-Prof Dr Jaap W. de Zwaan, Director of the Netherlands Institute of International Relations
'It is obvious that Eastern Europe has been influenced by its recent past. It is the great merit of Leon Marc's book however that he delves behind the brief and inglorious communist half-century to uncover the deep traditions of a region which he demonstrates - with clarity, erudition and passion - to be not in any sense a qualified or lesser Europe but an essential and necessary part of our continent', cultural unity and common destiny.-Enda O'Doherty, Dublin Review of Books
