Conflict and Chaos in Eastern Europe

The return of Eastern and Central Europe to true independence, following the collapse of communist rule, has re-animated an enormous number of historical and cultural issues largely dormant since World War II. This book analyzes five of the most important of these issues: the legacy of the Habsburg Empire; the cultural-faultline of Bosnia-Hercegovina; the much-disputed region of Macedonia; the tensions between Hungary and Romania over Transylvania; and Poland's unstable eastern borders.
