商品簡介
There are large and significant structural differences between the Western European nations and the Eastern European countries that are likely to be included in the expanded European Union. Mair (comparative politics, Leiden U., the Netherlands) and Zielonka (political science, European U. Institute, Italy) present nine papers that attempt to assess continuing political and economic divergence and investigate the implications. Contributors examine culture and national identity, democracy and nationalism in post-communist Europe, the integration of Eastern European markets, possibilities of retaining some social welfare in the face of liberalization, and related topics.
