Transformation in Central-Eastern Europe 1989-2019: Success & Failures
Conference description
Year 2019 marks the 30th anniversary of the beginning of major political, social, economic and cultural changes behind the Iron Curtain. Since that day different forms, models, and spheres of both transformaation and transition in Central-Eastern Europe have been reasearched by many academics from perspective of social sciences and humanities. But the open question remains: what is the general balance of successes and failures of last 30 years of changes in the former Eastern Bloc?
