商品の説明
内容説明
From Estonia to Macedonia, this book is a history of 15 countries as they make their way from communism. For some, the story ends happily, with triumphant entry into the European Union in 2004. Others are caught in limbo, destroyed by nationalist politics, war and genocide, or crippled by corrupt political practices. "The Burdens of History" considers the effects of revolutionary change, the resurgence of nationalism and the painful examination of the past. It looks at the process of building stable democratic states, and their integration with international structures. Most of the countries have been active participants in the occupation of Iraq. Domestically, each has seen a divide emerge between winners and losers. All are moving forward simultaneously to democracy, unity and prosperity, and national division, corruption, and economic disparity.

Blind Optimism
2008/3/16
形式:ペーパーバック
Interesting that nobody has reviewed this book for amazon.com, given that it enjoys a certain degree of acceptance in the great big world. When it discusses the northern tier (East Central Europe; Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary) it is reliable. When it discusses the south (Southeastern Europe; Bulgaria, Romania, former Yugoslavia, Albania) it is completely unreliable. Kenney forces the south into his optimistic framework, which is nearly impossible to do. We are not yet in a period of "post-post-communism" in that part of Europe. Somebody needs to note that this book is another in a long line of recent "scholarship" that totally misses the boat regarding the Balkans. Doesn't help that the author doesn't actually have any experience -- or languages -- in the region.
