Abstract
This book presents a concise and comprehensive overview of mainstream flows of ideas, politics and itineraries towards modernity in Central and Eastern Europe and Balkans over two centuries from beginning of nineteenth century to end of Gorbachev administration. Unlike other books on subject which view modernity based on idea of Western European supremacy, this book outlines various different pathways of development, and of growing industrialisation, urbanisation and secularisation which took place across region. It provides rich insights on complex networks whereby very varied ideas, aspirations and policies interacted to bring about a varied pattern of progress, and of integration and isolation, with different areas moving in different ways and at different paces. Overall book presents something very different from traditional picture of the two Europes. Particular examples covered include agrarian reform movements, in various phases, different models of socialism, and different models of socialist reform.
