Europe Since 1989 charts the development of Europe east and

west since the 1989 revolutions It analyses the emergent

European society the development of a European public

sphere and civil society Most books on Europe are heavily

biased to the West and Europe Since 1989 takes the opposite

approach It argues that the transformation of the post-

communist world has implications for the whole of Europe and

tendencies and chance events and the possible futures which

confront contemporary Europe With close attention to political

economic and other social transformations and an appendix which gives special attention to

liberalization deregulation and privatization had catastrophic

effects on former Soviet Bloc countries He illustrates how the

capitalist Wests effort to reshape Eastern Europe in its own

likeness ended up reshaping Western Europe as well in part by accelerating the pace and scope

of neoliberal reforms in the West particularly in reunified Germany

Central and southeast European politics since 1989 Sabrina P Ramet Cambridge Cambridge University Press 2010 Available at Council Library Main Collection (094335)

The collapse of the communist monopoly across Central and

South-eastern Europe in 19891990 initiated a process of rapid

political economic and cultural change While Bosnia-

Herzegovina Croatia and Serbia went on to suffer three and a

half years of war all the states of the region have confronted

challenges as they dismantled communist institutions and

drafted new laws in some cases ignoring their own laws

Indeed in certain countries local politicians have done their

best to corrupt the media and the economy with recent years

seeing some states move in an illiberal direction Throughout the region however there has been

a strong interest in enjoying the benefits of membership of the European Union and NATO

The original founding of European integration in 1957 was based

on the notion of internal reconciliation among European states and

societies Since the 1990s European integration has become

increasingly a political project with implications for the internal

structure of its member states and their societies At the same

time with the end of the Cold War the rational of European

integration has begun to change European integration is about a

new global role of Europe its contribution to the management of global affairs and its ability to

cope with the effects of globalisation on Europe

Enlargement policy towards Central and Eastern Europe what EU policy-makers learned In European enlargement across rounds and beyond borders Haakon A Ikonomou Aureacutelie Andry Rebekka Byberg (Eds) London England New York New York Routledge 2017 Access via Eureka

For the quarter-century following the fall of the Berlin Wall in

1989 the EU had a near monopoly on transformative power in

its neighbourhood which influenced the following decades of

enlargement This chapter reviews six major lessons drawn by

European Union (EU) policy-makers following the big bang

enlargement of 2004 and 2007 which brought 12 new members

into the EU The chapter argues that domestic politics have increasingly constrained the EUs

external policies especially by changing enlargement from an elite-led and largely consensus-

based project to a much more contested one Populist politics began to surge in both the EU and

enlargement countries during the Euro and migration crises bringing controversy to issues such as

internal mobility from poorer to richer parts of the EU It covers both the period of post-1989

Euphoria and the political events of the 2000s to 2010s

Twenty years after communism the politics of memory and commemoration Michael Bernhard Jan Kubik (Eds) New York Oxford University Press 2014 Available at Council Library Main Collection (101324)

While the fall of the Berlin Wall is positively commemorated in

the West the intervening years have shown that the former

Soviet Bloc has a more complicated view of its legacy In post-

communist Eastern Europe the way people remember state

socialism is closely intertwined with the manner in which they

envision historical justice Twenty Years After Communism is

concerned with the explosion of a politics of memory triggered

by the fall of state socialism in Eastern Europe and it takes a

comparative look at the ways that communism and its demise

have been commemorated (or not commemorated) by major political actors across the region

prospect combined with their past industrial orientation and the unprecedented dynamics of the

membership will only lead to positive results for both parties if industrial change and value creation

are able to take effect and provide economic prosperity
