The Challenge of IntegrationPeter Rutland EastWest Institute, 1998 - 447 pages The EastWest Institute took over sponsorship of the Survey when the Open Media Research Institute in Prague closed in 1997 after publishing the first two annual volumes. Overviews of eastern Europe and the former Soviet states are followed by essays on regional issues and economics, and then analyses of the current situation in specific countries. The perspectives include a year of optimism in Hungary, keeping Latvia on a course toward the west, Slovenia as an island of stability, a year of western determination in Bosnia, Vojislav Sesilj as a demagogue waiting in Yugoslavia, and progress amid privation in Georgia. The texts are accompanied by maps, data boxes, feature stories, excerpts from documents, and profiles of key figures. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR |
