New Europe in transition

"This book takes as its focus a stimulating selection of the key political and other (i.e. cultural, legal, economic and social) questions which currently confront Europe. These questions are addressed on three levels: first at the level of the major institutions which straddle large parts of Europe - NATO, the OSCE and the EU; second from the perspective of a large sample of European countries, including parts of the former Soviet Union; and third with regard to the economic, cultural and social dimensions of European society, both East and West. In addition, each chapter address two core themes: the impact of globalization on the Eruropean way of life, and the problems of and potential threats to democracy."--Jacket.
