Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Highlighting the key events, ideas, and individuals that have shaped modern Europe, this fresh and lively book provides a concise history of the continent from the Enlightenment to the integration of the European Union. Drawing on the enduring theme of revolution, David S. Mason explores the causes and consequences of revolution: political, economic, and scientific; the development of human rights; and issues of European identity and integration. He deliberately avoids a detailed chronology of every country and time period by emphasizing the most crucial events in shaping contemporary Europe. Fourteen focused chapters address such topical issues as the Enlightenment; the French Revolution and Napoleon; the Industrial Revolution; the theories and impact of Marx and Darwin; the revolutions of 1848, 1917, and 1989; the unifications of Germany and Italy; European imperialism; the two World Wars; the Cold War; and the evolution and expansion of the European Union. Any reader who wants to view the broad sweep of European history will find this book an engaging narrative.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Revolutionary Europe: 1789-1815 In this volume I have endeavoured to write a history of Europe during an important period of transition. I have reduced military details to the smallest possible limits, and have preferred to mention rather than to describe battles and campaigns, in order to have more space to devote to such questions as the Belgian revolution of 1789, the reorganisation of Prussia in 1806-12, and the Congress of Vienna. I have throughout tried to describe the French Revolution in its influence on Europe, and Napoleon's career as a great reformer rather than as a great conqueror. The inner meaning of the period and its general results I have sketched in a short introductory chapter, on which the rest of the volume is really a detailed historical commentary.

Download or read book The Long 1989 written by Piotr H. Kosicki and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 2019-08-14 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fall of communism in Europe is now the frame of reference for any mass mobilization, from the Arab Spring to the Occupy movement to Brexit. Even thirty years on, 1989 still figures as a guide and motivation for political change. It is now a platitude to call 1989 a "world event," but the chapters in this volume show how it actually became one. The authors of these nine essays consider how revolutionary events in Europe resonated years later and thousands of miles away: in China and South Africa, Chile and Afghanistan, Turkey and the USA. They trace the circulation of people, practices, and concepts that linked these countries, turning local developments into a global phenomenon. At the same time, they examine the many shifts that revolution underwent in transit. All nine chapters detail the process of mutation, adaptation, and appropriation through which foreign affairs found new meanings on the ground. They interrogate the uses and understandings of 1989 in particular national contexts, often many years after the fact. Taken together, this volume asks how the fall of communism in Europe became the basis for revolutionary action around the world, proposing a paradigm shift in global thinking about revolution and protest.

Download or read book 1989 written by Krishan Kumar and published by Choice Publishing Co., Ltd.. This book was released on 2001 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1989, from East Berlin to Budapest and Bucharest to Moscow, communism was falling. The walls were coming down and the world was being changed in ways that seemed entirely new. The conflict of ideas and ideals that began with the French Revolution of 1789 culminated in these revolutions, which raised the prospects of the "return to Europe" of East and Central European nations, the "restarting of their history," even, for some, the "end of history." What such assertions and aspirations meant, and what the larger events that inspired them mean-not just for the world of history and politics, but for our very understanding of that world-are the questions Krishan Kumar explores in 1989. A well-known and widely respected scholar, Kumar places these revolutions of 1989 in the broadest framework of political and social thought, helping us see how certain ideas, traditions, and ideological developments influenced or accompanied these movements-and how they might continue to play out. Asking questions about some of the central dilemmas facing modern society in the new century, Kumar offers critical insight into how these questions might be answered and how political, social, and historical ideas and ideals can shape our destiny.

Download or read book The 1989 Revolutions in Central and Eastern Europe written by Kevin McDermott and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2015-11-01 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important book reassesses a defining historical, political and ideological moment in contemporary history: the 1989 revolutions in central and eastern Europe. Adopting a multi-disciplinary approach, the authors reconsider such crucial themes as the broader historical significance of the 1989 events, the complex interaction between external and internal factors in the origins and outcomes of the revolutions, the impact of the ‘Gorbachev phenomenon’, the West and the end of the Cold War, the political and socio-economic determinants of the revolutionary processes in Poland, Hungary, the German Democratic Republic, Czechoslovakia, Romania and Bulgaria, and the competing academic, cultural and ideological perceptions of the year 1989 as communism gave way to post-communist pluralism in the 1990s and beyond. Concluding that the contentious term ‘revolution’ is indeed apt for the momentous developments in eastern Europe in 1989, this book will be essential reading for undergraduates, postgraduates and specialists alike.

Download or read book Revolution and Reaction in Europe and Their Effects on the International System written by Naval Postgraduate School and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-12-23 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines two periods of major revolutionary change in Europe - France in 1789 and Central Europe in 1848 - to determine what forces emerged from the associated events to undermine the stability of the existing international system. Although both revolutionary periods were different, each produced the following destabilizing forces: heightened nationalism; a decline in the internationalist perspective among the ruling elites; instability among the ruling elites; conflict in the center of Europe; heightened awareness and importance of ideological differences; a breakdown in the cohesiveness of the international system; and finally diplomacy that was characterized by the pursuit of policies that had vastly greater ends pursued with greatly expanded means. Similar forces appear to be emerging in the aftermath of the upheavals of 1989, and therefore the friction in the international system will increase similarly to the past. In effect, the tentative uniformities among destabilizing forces after 1789 and 1848 will come into operation after 1989.
