      abstract = {This textbook offers a survey of the history of Central  Europe since 1848, from the Springtime of Nations, through  the world wars and communist period, to NATO and EU  membership. With an emphasis on nation-building, it gives  the reader a better understanding of not just political  history but also of the regions economic development and of  everyday life. The book brings the reader right up to the  present, considering contemporary issues such as the impact  of the 2015 refugee crisis, migration out of Central  Europe, the weakening of democratic institutions and the  re-emergence of nationalism. Throughout, it offers fresh  perspectives, gives agency to Central Europe, and pays  attention to the ethnic, linguistic and religious diversity  of the region. This is essential reading for students  taking courses on Central/East-Central Europe. It is also  suitable for courses on 19th and 20th Century Europe, or  for anyone with an interest in the region.},
