This course examines the major institutional and societal changes and powerful continuities that have shaped states and people in Central and Eastern Europe - a region that experienced unprecedented transformations since the early 1990s, after the collapse of the Soviet bloc and beginning of NATO and European Union Enlargement. The class explores how these processes unfolded across this diverse region, and how governments and societies respond to internal and international crises today.
