How has the countries in Central Europe developed since the end of communism? This course will give you a deeper understanding of the cultural and societal changes that has swept through the heart of Europe during the last three decades.
The course provides an overview of the post-communist development of the societies of Central Europe, i.e. Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and the Czech Republic.
The key political and cultural tendencies permeating Central Europe after the fall of the Berlin Wall are problematised and discussed, as is the question of the region's role as a potential bridge between East and West and North and South. A specialised component addresses the entry and development of the Central European states in the EU.
The states are studied comparatively at the same time as common lines of development are highlighted.
