PS 1521 - EASTERN EUROPE IN WORLD POLITICS

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Eastern Europe has now seen more than twenty years of dramatic changes encompassing a movement away from one-party dictatorship and state-run economies to democratic politics and market economies. These changes have affected and been affected by developments in Europe, including Russia, Euro-Atlantic relations and international relations more broadly. The aim of this course is to explore the background and dynamics of the remarkable changes in "the other Europe." The course will move quickly over the history of the region generally referred to as "East Europe" and will focus primarily on contemporary developments. A particular focus of the course is the impact on the region of developments elsewhere, especially in the politics and policies of outside powers, and the ripple effect of changes in the region on European and world politics.
