Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The region between the Baltic and the Black Sea was marked by a set of crises and conflicts in the 1920s and 1930s, demonstrating the diplomatic, military, economic or cultural engagement of France, Germany, Russia, Britain, Italy and Japan in this highly volatile region, and critically damaging the fragile post-Versailles political arrangement. The editors, in naming this region as "Middle Europe" seek to revive the symbolic geography of the time and accentuate its position, situated between Big Powers and two World Wars. The ten case studies in this book combine traditional diplomatic history with a broader emphasis on the geopolitical aspects of Big-Power rivalry to understand the interwar period. The essays claim that the European Big Powers played a key role in regional affairs by keeping the local conflicts and national movements under control and by exploiting the region's natural resources and military dependencies, while at the same time strengthening their prestige through cultural penetration and the cultivation of client networks. The authors, however, want to avoid the simplistic view that the Big Powers fully dominated the lesser players on the European stage. The relationship was indeed hierarchical, but the essays also reveal how the "small states" manipulated Big-Power disagreements, highlighting the limits of the latters' leverage throughout the 1920s and the 1930s.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rural and Historical Gleanings From Eastern Europe The wealth upon its surface is equalled by that beneath it. In the bowels of the mountains metals and precious stones of almost every de scription are to be found; the Hungarian gold and silver mines being the richest in Europe, and the fiery Opals the most in demand. The features of the country are not less remarkable than its productiveness. There the lover of nature meets with an endless variety of landscape, from the wild and gigantic Alpine scenery in the Carpathian and Matra mountains - Where the boar, Chamois, and bear have to this day their inaccessible recesses - to the simple grandeur of the unadorned plains between the Theiss and the Danube.

Download or read book Transatlantic Central Europe written by Jessie Labov and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 2019-04-10 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While there are still occasional uses of it today, the term "Central Europe" carries little of the charge that it did in the 1980s and early 1990s, and as a political and intellectual project it has receded from the horizon. Proponents of a distinct cultural profile of these countries—all involved now in the process of Transatlantic integration—used "Central European", as a contestation with the geo-political label of Eastern Europe. This book discusses the transnational set of practices connecting journals with other media in the mid-1980s, disseminating the idea of Central Europe simultaneously in East and West. A range of new methodologies, including GIS-mapping visualization, is used, repositing the political-cultural journal as one central node of a much larger cultural system. What has happened to the liberal humanist philosophy that "Central Europe" once evoked? In the early years of the transition era, the liberal humanist perspective shared by Havel, Konrád, Kundera, and Michnik was quickly replaced by an economic liberalism that evolved into neoliberal policies and practices. The author follows the trajectories of the concept into the present day, reading its material and intellectual traces in the postcommunist landscape. She explores how the current use of transnational, web-based media follows the logic and practice of an earlier, 'dissident' generation of writers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Eastern Europe A new Balkans has been created in Eastern Europe and no diplomatic reversal of the Treaty of Brest can reverse the facts of the situation. The Ukraine may join with Russia again, for Little Russia is one of All the Russias after all. But the non-russian, non-orthodox races of the Borderland, Finns, Balts, Letts, Esths, Lithuanians, Poles, are now launched for good or bad on an independent career. Hitherto they have been held in artificial equilibrium by the presence of the German armies. Now these are being withdrawn, and there is beginning to ensue, as in the Balkans when the Turkish power was removed, a jostling of infant nationalities struggling to find their feet. The young Balkan States could look to powerful neighbours, Austria on the one hand and Russia on the other, for support; and the rest of Europe could preserve the peace of the Balkans, tant bien que ml, by balancing the rival influences of these two Powers. But the two great neighbours of the new Eastern Europe are both in collapse: and the friction between the several States has a free field. Force, in the shape of international Armies of Occupation, can no doubt hold it in suspense, as the austro-german Occupation held it in suspense. But a mistake will be made if it is supposed that it can be dissipated by force - still less by diplomatic machinery. Friction in the case of young Nationalisms in conflict is a process of biological growth. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Christianity and Modernity in Eastern Europe written by Bruce R. Berglund and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disgraceful collusion. Heroic resistance. Suppression of faith. Perseverance of convictions. The story of Christianity in twentieth-century Eastern Europe is often told in stark scenes of tragedy and triumph. Overlooked in the retelling of these dramas is how the region's clergy and lay believers lived their faith, acted within religious and political institutions, and adapted their traditions---while struggling to make sense of a changing world. The contributors to this volume, coming from the U.S. and Western and Eastern Europe, look beyond the narratives of resistance and collaboration. They offer surprising new evidence from archives and oral history interviews, and they provide fresh interpretations of Christianity as it was lived and expressed in modern Europe: from religiosity in the industrial cities of the late nineteenth century to current debates over immigration and European identity; from theological debates in East Germany to folk healing in post-socialist Bulgaria; and, counter-intuitively, from religious fervor among the Czechs to indifference among the Poles. Addressing Christianity in diverse forms---Orthodox, Protestant, Roman and Greek Catholic---as an integral part of the region's politics, society, and culture, this collection is a major addition to studies of both Eastern Europe and religion in the twentieth century. "A volume that specialists in the history of Christianity in other regions of the world will read with great interest, and a degree of envy. As an historian of religion in Western Europe, I can say that although there is a vast literature on the religious history of the nineteenth century and a growing literature on the twentieth century, there is nothing quite like this." From the Foreword by Hugh McLeod, author of The Religious Crisis of the 1960s. "This is a path-breaking book in two different ways. It contributes to the re-evaluation of the nature of modern European religion generally, and to the nature of religion in the modern world." Jeffrey Cox, University of Iowa, author of Imperial Fault Lines: Christianity and Colonial Power in India.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Embattled Borders: Eastern Europe From the Balkans to the Baltic Were I to be asked what sort of a book this is, I must confess that I should be at a loss for a reply, for it falls into none of the usual categories. It is not a travel book, at least in the usual meaning Of that term, for, though strung on the thread of a motor journey through regions not Often explored by motorists, and interspersed with accounts of places which seemed to me of exceptional interest, it deals in the main with politics rather than peoples, with conditions rather than countries and customs.
