EASTERN EUROPE SINCE 1945 - GEOFFREY SWAIN NIGE...

Since its first appearance in 1993  Eastern Europe since 1945 has become an essential text for
university students and others keen to understand the complex developments in the region over
the last sixty years. This fourth edition has been fully revised  updated and expanded in order
to incorporate new material and the events that have taken place since the publication of the
previous edition.Covering all the countries which comprise Eastern Europe  Geoffrey and Nigel
Swain provide a clear account of:- the origins of the socialist experiment- the 1956 crisis of
de-Stalinisation- how society and economy operated between 1956 and 1989  the years of
'actually existing socialism'.Drawing on what is now a perspective of twenty years  the authors
identify trends in the transition from socialism to capitalism and explore the important role
played by the prospect of EU membership in shaping the politics of what was once Eastern
European capitalism. The new edition also features helpful suggestions for reading to aid
further study.
