Summary:

Now in a fully updated edition, this essential text explores the
other half of Europe_the new and future members of the European Union
along with the problems and potential they bring to the region and to
the world stage. Clear and comprehensive, it offers an authoritative
and up-to-date analysis of the transformations and realities in
Central and Eastern Europe, the Baltics, and Ukraine. Divided into
two parts, the book presents a set of comparative country case
studies as well as thematic chapters on key issues, including EU and
NATO expansion, the economic transition and its social ramifications,
the role of women, persistent problems of ethnicity and nationalism,
and political reform. New to this edition is a chapter on Albania.
Leading scholars provide the historical context for the current
situation of each country in the region. They explain how communism
ended and how democratic politics has emerged or is struggling to
emerge in its wake, how individual countries have transformed their
economies, how their populations have been affected by rapid and
wrenching change, and how foreign policy making has evolved. For
students and specialists alike, this book will be an invaluable
resource on the newly democratizing states of Europe.
