Eastern Europe and the Challenges of Modernity, 1800-2000 PDF
by Stefano Bianchini
Part of the BASEES/Routledge Series on Russian and East European Studies series
Description
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.
It provides rich insights on the complex networks whereby very varied ideas, aspirations and policies interacted to bring about a varied pattern of progress, and of integration and isolation, with different areas moving in different ways and at different paces.
Overall the book presents something very different from the traditional picture of the" two Europes".
Particular examples covered include agrarian reform movements, in various phases, different models of socialism, and different models of socialist reform.
