Central Europe: The New Allies? by Theo Van Den Doel Pdf

Originally published in 1994. In 1989 Poland, Hungary and Czechoslovakia began to cooperate as a regional grouping in the Warsaw Treaty Organisation(WTO). With the primary objective to cooperate with western organisations they have also worked to dismantle the WTO and the CMEA. Since 1991, they have been regarded as the Visegard Group which now includes the Slovak Republic as well as the newly named Czech Republic. The subtitle reflects the author's belief that in comparison with other WTO states, this Group of four nations are on a fast track in their objective of being a member of NATO.

America's New Allies by Janusz Bugajski,Ilona Teleki Pdf

"In order to understand the objectives of America's new allies and help develop effective U.S. policies, this study charts the evolution of relations between Washington and the CEE states in the context of EU and NATO enlargement. It argues that Washington has an opportunity to strengthen its ties with the CEE states and rebuild productive problem-solving relations with the EU and the NATO alliance as a whole, but the window of opportunity may be closing."--BOOK JACKET.

The New Central Europe by Stephen Borsody Pdf

This timely political monograph on Central Europe analyzes the past and present of a region of smaller nations within the framework of Great Power politics. Lucid and scholarly, it should also appeal to the general reader who is not normally attracted by a work of this nature. The main purpose of the book is to demonstrate how peace efforts in twentieth century Central Europe have been frustrated by nationalist rivalries, with catastrophic consequences far beyond the region's geographic and historical boundaries. The cause of failure, the author argues, is the nation-state order created after World War I and restored after World War II. His interpretation centers on the need for a democratic federalist alternative. Such solutions have been discussed for almost two centuries but never realized. Thus, on the eve of the twenty-first century, Central Europe remains a region of conflict threatening world peace. Published in London, Stephen Borsody's The Triumph of Tyranny was the precursor of this political essay. Twice reissued in the United States under its American title, The Tragedy of Central Europe, it was acclaimed by experts as a "classic." This updated and expanded edition offers a new view of Central Europe in the post-cold war era. What remains unchanged is the federalist philosophy of interpretation, the hallmark of the author's work

The Limits of Alliance by Andrew A. Michta Pdf

Are the relationships that the United States forged with North and Central Europe during the Cold War still viable today? As the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) declines and the European Security and Defense Policy (ESDP) emerges, can the United States and Europe bridge the transatlantic fissures that opened when the United States prepared to go to war with Iraq? In a post-9/11 world, North and Central Europe have had to adapt their national security policies and rethink their relationship with the United States. In an in-depth look at the security policies of the states in North and Central Europe, Andrew Michta highlights how historical legacies, regional geostrategic constraints, and individual capabilities have shaped their response to the new environment. Michta raises the broad question of whether traditional alliances and NATO are still viable ways to deal with new security concerns. The two key questions that arise from this discussion are to what extent NATO still matters to the United States, beyond its political utility, and whether the European Union as a whole can become a partner for the United States in a new security environment. The Limits of Alliance argues that, although NATO will continue to exist in the coming decade, the hollowing-out of the alliance will be accompanied by a shift in transatlantic security relations toward bilateralism determined by regional security considerations.

Central Europe by Lonnie Johnson Pdf

This historical survey of Central Europe covers a region that encompasses contemporary Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, Hungary, Slovenia, and Croatia. Now in its second edition, Central Europe: Enemies, Neighbors, Friends contains a new epilogue-updated to cover events since 1995-and several redesigned or updated maps. Each chapter is thematically organized around issues or events that are important in helping students develop an understanding of the region's internal dynamics. Johnson illuminates the competing religious, cultural, economic, national, and ideological interests that have driven the history of Central Europe. Thorough, objective, and focused, Johnson's work stands out as both a useful core text covering an area of growing interest and a brilliant account of a region that is only just beginning to receive the attention it deserves.

The Price of Freedom by Piotr S. Wandycz Pdf

The Price of Freedom surveys and explains the fascinating and intricate history of East Central Europe - the present day countries of the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. Taking a thematic approach, the author explores such issues and controversies as the tension between the industrial developed West and the agrarian East Central Europe, the rise of modern nationalism, democracy and authoritarianism and Communism. While the countries of East Central Europe have differed dramatically from one another, the author asserts that they have been bound by a certain community of fate. These comparisons are traced through the Middle Ages and the Early Modern era to the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This exploration reveals that it is no accident that the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland were the first among the former Soviet bloc nations to be admitted to NATO, and are likely to become the first members of the expanded European Union. Thus an understanding of their experiences, contributions and their place within the European community of nations vastly enriches our knowledge of Europe's past and present.The second edition of this distinguished book brings the history of the region up to date. It discusses the events of the post-communist decade of the 1990s and the problems resulting from the transition to democracy and market economy.

Britain and Central Europe, 1918-1933 by Gábor Bátonyi Pdf

This book emphasizes the key role played by Britain in restoring peace and stability in central Europe after the First World War. It focuses on the endeavours of British diplomats in the 1920s to promote political integration and economic co-operation in the Danubia region. The work traces the gradual shift in British attitudes towards the small central European states, from one of active engagement to disinterest and even hostility. Three case studies of British foreign policy in Vienna, Budapest, and Prague support the novel thesis that British involvement in central European affairs was terminated as a result of Austrian, Hungarian, and Czechoslovakian unwillingness to co-operate, and not simply because of economic and political pressures from Germany.

Postwar Continuity and New Challenges in Central Europe, 1918–1923 by Tomasz Pudłocki,Kamil Ruszała Pdf

This book presents a multi-layered analysis of the situation in Central Europe after the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The new geopolitics emerging from the Versailles order, and at the same time ongoing fights for borders, considerable war damage, social and economic problems and replacement of administrative staff as well as leaders, all contributed to the fact that unlike Western Europe, Central Europe faced challenges and dilemmas on an unprecedented scale. The editors of this book have invited authors from over a dozen academic institutions to answer the question of to what extent the solutions applied in the Habsburg Monarchy were still practiced in the newly created nation states, and to what extent these new political organisms went their own ways. It offers a closer look at Central Europe with its multiple problems typical of that region after 1918 (organizing the post-imperial space, a new political discourse and attempts to create new national memories, the role of national minorities, solving social problems, and verbal and physical violence expressed in public space). Particular chapters concern post-1918 Central Europe on the local, state and international levels, providing a comprehensive view of this sub-region between 1918 and 1923.

Territorial Revisionism and the Allies of Germany in the Second World War by Marina Cattaruzza,Stefan Dyroff,Dieter Langewiesche Pdf

A few years after the Nazis came to power in Germany, an alliance of states and nationalistic movements formed, revolving around the German axis. That alliance, the states involved, and the interplay between their territorial aims and those of Germany during the interwar period and World War II are at the core of this volume. This "territorial revisionism" came to include all manner of political and military measures that attempted to change existing borders. Taking into account not just interethnic relations but also the motivations of states and nationalizing ethnocratic ruling elites, this volume reconceptualizes the history of East Central Europe during World War II. In so doing, it presents a clearer understanding of some of the central topics in the history of the war itself and offers an alternative to standard German accounts of the period and East European national histories.
