Integrating Central Europeinvestigates the political and economic transformation of Central and Eastern Europe since the 1989 revolutions, in terms of economic prosperity, social cohesion, democratic accountability and consolidation. Otto Holman critically analyses the dominant view that holds that stability in Central Europe depends on the successful introduction of free market economies, which subsequently results in economic growth and, more importantly, political modernization.
