Die Erinnerung an die Jahre 1914 bis 1918 hat in den Geisteswissenschaften intensive produktive, wenn auch höchst heterogene Wirkungen entfalten können, in denen sich unterschiedliche Tradierungen und Kanonisierungen erkennen lassen. Zieht man allgemein verbindliche Deutungsmuster heran, so ließe sich konstatieren, dass der Erste Weltkrieg – in Deutschland vom Zweiten Weltkrieg überlagert – im Westen als großer Opfergang erinnert wird, während er in Russland Auftakt zu Revolution und Bürgerkrieg ist. In Zentraleuropa stellt er für einige Länder die entscheidende Phase nationalstaatlicher Wiedergeburt dar. Er bedeutet somit einen tiefen Einschnitt in der europäischen (Geistes-)Geschichte, er wirkt aber auch als Durchbruch der Moderne in sozialer, intellektueller und technologischer Hinsicht und markiert in gewisser Weise das Ende des bürgerlichen Zeitalters. Dies dürften einige der Gründe sein, weshalb 2018 ein auch in Zentral- bzw. Ostmitteleuropa herausragendes Gedenkjahr war. Der Zerfall der Vielvölkermonarchien in Europa bedeutete das Ende der politischen Ordnung des ‚langen‘ 19. Jahrhunderts und brachte sowohl die Erfüllung nationaler Erwartungen und Hoffnungen in den Nachfolgestaaten der Habsburgermonarchie wie aber auch Verlusterfahrungen in Österreich und vor allem in Ungarn sowie in dem in seinen imperialen Erwartungen enttäuschten Italien. Anlässlich des Gedenkjahrs bietet der Tagungsband eine Auseinandersetzung mit dem Ersten Weltkrieg aus geschichts-, literatur- und kulturwissenschaftlicher Perspektive, die sich insbesondere dem Ende des Kriegs und seinem Nachwirken widmet, wobei der Fokus auf dem früheren habsburgischen Bereich liegt

Nearly thirty years after the fall of the Soviet Union, debates over paths to market liberalization have produced numerous studies across the social sciences. This groundbreaking work from Oleh Havrylyshyn offers a new perspective. Havrylyshyn, a former official in the post-independence Ukrainian government, provides a unique, primary source account of the people and problems at the heart of economic transitions. Grounded in three decades of data, along with experiential research gleaned from nearly thirty countries, this book contains the most up-to-date assessment of economic transitions in post-communist regions. It critically examines questions of gradual versus radical reforms, the relationship between democracy and market liberalization, and how history, individual personalities, and foreign influence determined political choices. Thorough research and accessible style make this work a valuable resource for students and specialists of economics, political science, and history as well as readers generally interested in international studies, government, and business.

Tributaries and Peripheries of the Ottoman Empire offers twelve studies on the relationship between Ottoman tributaries with each other in the imperial framework, as well as with neighboring border provinces of the empire’s core territories from the fifteenth to the eighteenth centuries. A variety of surveys related to the Cossack Ukraine, the Crimean Khanate, Dagestan, Moldavia, Ragusa, Transylvania, Upper Hungary and Wallachia allow the reader to see hitherto less known subtleties of the Ottoman administration’s hierarchic structures and the liberties and restrictions of the office-holders’ power. They also shed light upon the strategies of coalition-building among the elites of the tributaries as well as the core provinces of the border zones, which determined their cooperation, but also the competition between them. Contributors include: János B. Szabó, Ovidiu Cristea, Tetiana Grygorieva, Klára Jakó, Gábor Kármán, Dariusz Kołodziejczyk, Natalia Królikowska-Jedlińska, Erica Mezzoli, Viorel Panaite, Radu G. Păun, Ruža Radoš Ćurić, Balázs Sudár, Michał Wasiucionek.

Countries and regions in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) have gone through several challenges. They went through totalitarian and authoritarian communist regimes, gained independence at the end of the 19th century, faced new economic and political challenges and rejoined Europe in a perspective of mutual development. As different as they may be, despite recent populist movements, the CEE countries have much in common and regional policies can help the "forgotten places" to explore their opportunities, supporting democracy, cohesion, and local economies in the European Union. Grzegorz Gorzelak is a professor of economics, specialising in regional and local development policies and strategy building. He has collaborated with the World Bank, the OECD, DG Regio of the European Commission, several agencies of the Polish and Ukrainian governments, as well as regional and local authorities. This is the fourteenth essay in the Big Ideas series created by the European Investment Bank.
