Course Information
Description
This course examines critical periods in Central and East European history and politics: the emergence and experiences of newly restored independent states in the aftermath of the First World War, the devastations of the Second World War and subsequent imposition of communist regimes, their evolution and their rapid and largely unanticipated collapse in 1989, subsequent transitions to democracy and a market economy, the accession to the European Union and the recent slowdown in economic reforms, democratic backsliding, and the largely unexpected authoritarian turn in some of the new EU member states.
