Zsófia S. Ignácz

Comments

More than 25 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of socialist regimes in Central East Europe, the legacy of socialism lingers in these countries, and stability of these countries is still considered vulnerable. The course aims to give an overview of trends in the political and economic realms in Central East Europe of the past 25 years. Moreover, the course also offers a socio-historic view of the region of the countries. Additionally, the course aims to not only pinpoint the general trends taking place in this region, but also to emphasize the uniqueness of each country by looking at various case studies. The course is divided into four main blocks. The first short block gives an introduction to the definitions crucial for the seminar, such as: what is the definition of socialism or capitalism, and how can we define Central East Europe. The second block focuses on general trends in the economic, political, and economic transformation in Central East Europe. This second block touches on subjects like the role of elites, the presence of (or lack) of restitution in post-socialist countries. The third block zooms on tendencies for each country. The final block shifts its view and looks at what is the general atmosphere in these countries by studying value, attitudes and general public opinion and in Central East European countries. close
