Module description
The module begins with a comparative analysis of the revolutions of 1989, followed by three thematic sessions on: 'transitions to democracy'; nationalism and the state in post-communist Europe; and the politics of transition to the market economy. The next four sessions cover case studies of specific post-communist (Poland, Hungary, Czechslovakia/Czech and Slovak Republics; Romania, Yugoslavia, according to student interests). The final session reviews the progress of 'returning to Europe' - the impact of accession to/exclusion from NATO and the EU on domestic political transformation in CEE
