The De Gruyter Handbook of Eastern European Politics, Society and Culture provides a comparative analysis of why the region is at the forefront of a momentous turn in European history. It takes stock of the ways in which Eastern Europe has evolved since the region was incorporated into the post-communist order, taking stock of major political, social and cultural developments.
Employing a mix of social science research designs and methodologies, this volume discusses key contemporary issues, such as the fate of liberal democracy in the region, the rise of conservative populism, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, NATO expansion, the repression of the LGBT community, the social effects of post-twentieth-century deindustrialization, the role of oligarchs, and migration.
