This welcome second edition of A History of Eastern Europe provides a thematic historical survey of the formative processes of political, social and economic change which have played paramount roles in shaping the evolution and development of the region.

Subjects covered include:

- Eastern Europe in ancient, medieval and early modern times

- the legacies of Byzantium, the Ottoman Empire and the Habsburg Empire

- the impact of the region's powerful Russian and Germanic neighbours

- rival concepts of 'Central' and 'Eastern' Europe

- the experience and consequences of the two World Wars

- varieties of fascism in Eastern Europe

- the impact of Communism from the 1940s to the 1980s

- post-Communist democratization and marketization

- the eastward enlargement of the EU.

A History of Eastern Europe now includes two new chronologies – one for the Balkans and one for East-Central Europe – and a glossary of key terms and concepts, providing comprehensive coverage of a complex past, from antiquity to the present day.
