This book provides a thorough introduction to East Central Europe and its renewed emergence since the momentous changes in the former Soviet bloc.
By carefully differentiating between Central Europe, East Central Europe and the Balkans, (ac)Attila Agh shows how the term Eastern Europe' was a political misnomer of the Cold War.
