From Eastern Bloc to European Union: Comparative Processes of Transformation Since 1990 (Contemporary European History) (en Inglés)
Reseña del libro "From Eastern Bloc to European Union: Comparative Processes of Transformation Since 1990 (Contemporary European History) (en Inglés)"
More than 25 years after the fall of the Soviet Union, European integration remains a work in progress, especially in those Eastern European nations most dramatically reshaped by democratization and economic liberalization. This volume assembles detailed, empirically grounded studies of eleven states--Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Slovenia, and the former East Germany--that went on to join the European Union. Each chapter analyzes the political, economic, and social transformations that have taken place in these nations, using a comparative approach to identify structural similarities and assess outcomes relative to one another as well as the rest of the EU.
