It goes beyond the conventional nation-centered narratives and presents a novel vision especially sensitive to\u003cbr\u003ethe cross-cultural entanglement of political ideas and discourses. Its principal aim is to make these cultures available for the global 'market of ideas' and revisit some of the basic assumptions about the history of modern political thought, and modernity as such. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe present volume is the final part of the project, following \u003cem\u003e Volume I: Negotiating Modernity in the 'Long Nineteenth Century\u003c\/em\u003e', and \u003cem\u003e Volume II, Part I: Negotiating Modernity in the 'Short Twentieth Century' (1918-1968)\u003c\/em\u003e (OUP, 2018). Its starting point is the defeat of the vision of 'socialism with\u003cbr\u003ea human face' in 1968 and the political discourses produced by the various 'consolidation' or 'normalization' regimes. It continues with mapping the exile communities' and domestic dissidents' critical engagement with the local democratic and anti-democratic traditions as well as with global trends.\u003cbr\u003eRather than achieving the coveted 'end of history', however, the liberal democratic order created in East Central Europe after 1989 became increasingly contested from left and right alike. Thus, instead of a comfortable conclusion pointing to the European integration of most of these countries, the\u003cbr\u003ebook closes with a reflection on the fragility of democracy in this part of the world and beyond.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Balazs Trencsenyi, Michal Kopeček, Luka Lisjak Gabrijelčič\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/18\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198829607\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBalazs Trencsenyi, \u003cem\u003eProfessor in the Department of History, Central European University Budapest\u003c\/em\u003e, Michal Kopeček, \u003cem\u003eHead of the Ideas and Concepts Department, Institute of Contemporary History, Prague\u003c\/em\u003e, Luka Lisjak Gabrijelčič, \u003cem\u003ePhD candidate at the program in Comparative History of Central, \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eSoutheastern and Eastern Europe, Central European University, Budapest\u003c\/em\u003e, Maria Falina, \u003cem\u003eLecturer in Modern European History, Dublin City University\u003c\/em\u003e, Monika Baar, \u003cem\u003eProfessor of Central European Studies, University of Leiden\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBalazs Trencsenyi is Professor in the Department of History, Central European University Budapest.
