This volume assembles detailed, empirically grounded studies of eleven states--Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Slovenia, and the former East Germany--that went on to join the European Union. Each chapter analyzes the political, economic, and social transformations that have taken place in these nations, using a comparative approach to identify structural similarities and assess outcomes relative to one another as well as the rest of the EU."--Provided by publisher. 410 0$aStudies in contemporary European history ;$vvolume 22. 606 $aPost-communism$zEurope 606 $aDemocracy$zEurope, Eastern 606 $aDemocracy$zEurope, Central 607 $aEurope, Eastern$xPolitics and government$y1989- 607 $aEurope, Central$xPolitics and government$y1989- 607 $aEurope, Eastern$xRelations$zEuropean Union countries 607 $aEurope, Central$xRelations$zEuropean Union countries 607 $aEuropean Union countries$xRelations$zEurope, Eastern 607 $aEuropean Union countries$xRelations$zEurope, Central 610 $abulgaria. 610 $abusiness. 610 $acomparative approach. 610 $aczech republic. 610 $adiplomacy. 610 $aeast germany. 610 $aeconomic liberalization. 610 $aengaging. 610 $aestonia. 610 $aeu. 610 $aeurope. 610 $aeuropean integration. 610 $aeuropean nations. 610 $aeuropean union. 610 $aformer soviet republics. 610 $ahistory. 610 $ahuman condition. 610 $ahungary. 610 $aimmigration and immigrants. 610 $alatvia. 610 $alithuania. 610 $amoney and power. 610 $apoland. 610 $apolitical ideologies. 610 $apolitical intrigue. 610 $apolitical science. 610 $apolitical. 610 $apower and wealth. 610 $aretrospective. 610 $arevolutionaries. 610 $aromania. 610 $aslovakia. 610 $aslovenia. 610 $asocial issues. 610 $asocial transformations. 610 $asoviet union. 615 0$aPost-communism 615 0$aDemocracy 615 0$aDemocracy 676 $a341.242/20947 686 $aMG 80086$2rvk 702 $aHeydemann$b Gu?nther$f1950- 702 $aVodic?ka$b Karel$f1949- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796531803321 996 $aFrom Eastern Bloc to European Union$93835962 997 $aUNINA
