Thinking Dangerously: Political Thought in Twentieth-Century East Central Europe

    Research output: Contribution to Book/Report typesChapterpeer-review

    Abstract (may include machine translation)

    The chapter on political thought analyzes key issues in twentieth-century Central and Eastern European history by focusing on the transformation of political languages, tackling the following six key thematic areas in particular: the national question, supra-nationalism and the perspectives of interethnic coexistence; statehood and citizenship; the social question; politics and religion; political thought in the age of extremism; and identity politics. Analyzing the unrelentingly pursued and often self-critical dialogue with ‘Europe’ and ‘the West’, the chapter shows how Central and Eastern Europe emerged as an epicentre of multiple political crises in the twentieth century.
