Eastern Europe!
Eastern Europe! is a brief and concise (but informative) introduction to Eastern Europe and its myriad customs and history. When the legendary Romulus killed his brother Remus and founded the city of Rome in 753 BCE, Plovdiv -- today the second-largest city in Bulgaria -- was already thousands of years old. Indeed, London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Madrid, Brussels, Amsterdam are all are mere infants compared to Plovdiv. This is just one of the paradoxes that haunts and defines the New Europe, that part of Europe that was freed from Soviet bondage in 1989 which is at once both much older than the modern Atlantic-facing power centers of Western Europe while also being in some ways much younger t...
The Other Europe
"The Other Europe is a general history of Eastern Europe, from the earliest times to the end of World War II. Garrison Walters provides an informed and interpretively refreshing focus on this key region. Walter's objective is to acquaint the reader with the complex past of this politically and culturally important area. The general lack of knowledge about Eastern Europe is in part due to the vast diversity of its lands (language barriers themselves have daunted many scholars) and to the fact that, before the imposition of the Soviet template in 1944-45, what is now called Eastern Europe was not usually perceived as a distinct geopolitical entity. "The other Europe" as defined by Walters enco...
Eastern Europe Unmapped
Arguably more than any other region, the area known as Eastern Europe has been defined by its location on the map. Yet its inhabitants, from statesmen to literati and from cultural-economic elites to the poorest emigrants, have consistently forged or fathomed links to distant lands, populations, and intellectual traditions. Through a series of inventive cultural and historical explorations, Eastern Europe Unmapped dispenses with scholars’ long-time preoccupation with national and regional borders, instead raising provocative questions about the area’s non-contiguous—and frequently global or extraterritorial—entanglements.
Eastern Europe
A contemporary analysis of the people, cultures, and society within the regions that make up Eastern Europe. Eastern Europe: An Introduction to the People, Lands, and Culture sheds light on modern-day life in the 16 nations comprising Eastern Europe. Going beyond the history and politics already well documented in other works, this unique three-volume series explores the social and cultural aspects of a region often ignored in books and curricula on Western civilization. The volumes are organized by geographic proximity and commonality in historical development, allowing the countries to be both studied individually and juxtaposed against others in the region. The first volume covers the nor...
United States-East European Relations in the 1990s
This volume is the result of a workshop on the future relations between the U.S. and each of the East European countries, sponsored by the Hoover Institution on War, Revolution, and Peace. The contributors present political, economic and military surveys as well as country background papers. Beginning with the changing relations after 1985 between the Soviet Union and its client regimes, the volume covers Western policies likely to result in economic growth and stability, and the role of the Warsaw Treaty Organization. The authors analyze the domestic and foreign affairs of Poland, the German Democratic Republic, Czechoslovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Yugoslavia, and Albania, and include projections for their future relationships with the United States. ISBN 0-8448-1612-4: $47.50; ISBN 0-8448-1613-2 (pbk.): $27.00.
