This comprehensive collection of essays explores the challenges that Eastern Europe faced in consolidating democracy in the decade following the collapse of communism. The region's varied outcomes and rising illiberalism are examined in the context of economic crises, disillusionment with Western ideals, and the emergence of authoritarian trends in some countries. Through a diverse range of perspectives, this book delves into the complexities of post-communist transition, comparing and contrasting the experiences of different nations. It also examines the role of the European Parliament in promoting democracy and human rights, and the challenges of thinking within the borders of Western and Eastern Europe. With contributions from leading scholars in the field, this collection offers a nuanced understanding of the region's history, politics, and culture. It sheds light on the emotional and preideological roots of illiberalism in Eastern Europe, and the ways in which the region's desire to "be like the West" has generated discontent and nationalist stirrings. This book is essential reading for students of eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union, and anyone interested in the complexities of post-communist transition and the challenges of consolidating democracy in the region.
