商品簡介
A dozen essays look not just at how intellectuals helped pave the way for the political changes of the late 1980s and early 1990s, but also their role in the transition itself and their behavior in the new democracies. Early versions of most were presented at an August 1996 conference in Utrecht, the Netherlands. The topics include dissenting intellectuals and plain dissenters in Poland and East Germany, green intellectuals in Slovakia, Serbian nationalist intellectuals, and the language of the regime change in Hungary.
