Central and Eastern Europe as a Double Periphery?

The volume provides an up-to-date view of Central and Eastern Europe and problems shared by the CEE countries 30 years after the 1989 changes. The perspectives thereby include both those of insiders as well as those from outside the CEE region whereby even those from the outside clearly have an important message to convey for the region.

The agenda of the 11th CEE Forum Conference in Bratislava, Slovakia, held on 25-26 April 2019 was focused on the reassessment of the Central and Eastern European position in Europe and in the world, seeking for the specificities of this region, being often perceived as a double periphery of the West and of the East. Since thirty years have passed since the disintegration of the bipolar world, the time has come for a critical reconsideration of the earlier scholarly findings or commonplaces and the formulation of more nuanced and refined conclusions. The selection of papers offered by the organizers in this volume provides an up-to-date view of the CEE region and issues and problems shared by the CEE countries
