It aims to unravel the complexities underlying these countries' disillusionment with the \"return to Europe\" despite their significant advancements. The book adopts a country-by-country approach, providing in-depth analyses of each nation's experiences and challenges. Additionally, it delves into contemporary issues such as minority rights, migration patterns, and the evolving relations of these \"new\" members with the European Union as a whole. With a focus on accessibility and a broad readership, the book eschews theoretical frameworks and is designed to appeal to students at all levels studying political science and history, as well as to academic and practitioner audiences interested in global affairs and the evolution of the European Union. By addressing a longstanding knowledge gap in the English-speaking world regarding East Central Europe, the book offers fresh perspectives on the region within the context of contemporary geopolitics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 404g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 210 x 148 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783030839925\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2022\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Andre Liebich","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44103378731258,"sku":"9783030839925","price":91.62,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1646251608436_book.jpg?v=1646933350","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-politics-of-a-disillusioned-europe-east-central-europe-after-the-fall-of-communism-9783030839925","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
