From the supplier: A changing Western and Eastern Europe since the removal of the Berlin Wall and the unification of the two Germanys represents the beginning of a new social and political era in European history. It is important to understand what happened in 1989 and what preceded it. European political developments were based on the glorification of the nation-state, a reality that pervaded sovereign politics since 1848. These events were based upon expansionist goals or geographical definitions established after the two World Wars. The end of the Cold War has represented none of these. Both sovereign independence and economic liberty have created less easily delineated patterns in political and social trends.
