Shaping The New Europe

Synopsis

This study explores the longer-term trends in both Western and Eastern Europe that are shaping a new order - including supranationalism and nationalism, economic integration and disintegration, trans-European co-operation and conflict between nationalities. The trends are interpreted with the help of theoretical insights drawn mainly from international relations. The book explores the question: have the changes in Europe been so radical that we need to change the paradigms with which we interpret these events?
