Description: This book draws attention to selected aspects of the Central European reality and discusses interesting subjects related to the political, economic and social landscape of the region, which are in a continuous process of transformation.
The book will be a useful source of knowledge, as Central Europe is still considered to be an "undiscovered island" in the "changeable waters" of contemporary international relations.
