Towards Greater Europe?: A Continent without an Iron Curtain (Political Quarterly Special Issues) - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Increasing integration in the west; disintegration in the east. The political map of Europe has changed more thoroughly and rapidly than perhaps ever before in peacetime. Are we witnessing the start of a new hegemony over the whole continent by the institutions of the European Community, as the old Soviet Union relinquishes its hold on the east, simultaneously reducing the dependence of the west on the US? The contributors to this volume address the issues raised by the extraordinary changes now in progress. David Reynolds explores links between the emerging new Europe and that before the Cold War, William Wallace and Stephen George, in separate chapters, look forward to the possibility of a European Community of 24 states. Patrizio Bianchi considers likely economic scenarios for the 1990s. Roger Morgan examines the position of Germany, and Tony Judt discusses the lessons from the 1989 uprisings throughout Eastern Europe. S. Wesolowski focuses on the situation of one eastern country (Poland). V. Helander and D. Anckar do the same for a "neutral" (Finland). The vexed question of ethnic tensions, east and west, in Europe are considered by Marie Macey, and Paolo Perulli investigates European regionalism through an analysis of the Community of Aple Adria.
