Description

The Central European Dictionary of Political Concepts is a new approach to mapping political discourse in Central Europe. Gathering the work of scholars, writers and journalists, the dictionary works in two directions: providing analysis of terms that are universal for modern politics and examining these concepts through the unique context provided by Central Europe. In short, it is not our intention to offer a complete dictionary, but rather to provide readers with a companion of short essays illustrating the political language of CE and its reference to universalized concepts. The authors of entries take into consideration local histories, but they never lose sight of parallels between particular regional experiences and the universal dimensions of modern politics.

There are seven sections.
