Melegh exposes the underbelly of liberal characterizations of East-West, highlighting the polarizing effect of extreme nationalism and ethnic racism. The theoretical underpinnings of this work involve the ideas of preeminent theorists such as Karl Mannheim, Michel Foucault and more recently Maria Todorova and Iver Neumann. The importance of this work lies in its ability to cast into fine relief how the "East-West Slope" oriented negatively from West to East has emerged from liberal characterizations of this project. In addition this is one of the first attempts to link post-colonial analysis to developments in Eastern Europe. 410 0$aACLS Humanities E-Book. 606 $aInternational economic integration 607 $aEurope$xEconomic integration 607 $aEurope$xForeign relations$zEurope, Eastern 607 $aEurope, Eastern$xForeign relations$zEurope 607 $aEurope, Eastern$xPolitics and government$y1989- 610 $aEast and West, Economic integration, Ethnicity, Foreign relations, Nationalism, Postcommunism. 615 0$aInternational economic integration. 676 $a940.56/1 700 $aMelegh$b Attila$0691981 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996248340103316 996 $aOn the East-West slope$91242691 997 $aUNISA
