Eastern Europe and the Challenges of Modernity, 1800-2000 (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book presents a concise and comprehensive overview of the mainstream flows of ideas, politics and itineraries towards modernity in Central and Eastern Europe and the Balkans over two centuries from the beginning of the nineteenth century to the end of the Gorbachev administration. Unlike other books on the subject which view modernity based on the idea of Western European supremacy, this book outlines the various different pathways of development, and of growing industrialisation, urbanisation and secularisation which took place across the region. Overall the book presents something very different from the traditional picture of the" two Europes".
