What were the historical conditions, processes and outcomes of the political change in Central and Eastern Europe more than 30 years ago? This question is addressed in an anthology recently published by Harrassowitz Verlag examining the post-socialist transformation processes in Poland and East Germany.

The book publication, created as part of Mod-Block-DDR, is based on the annual conference of the Center for Interdisciplinary Polish Studies, which took place in Gdansk in the spring of 2021. The 15 single studies are dedicated to the substantial upheavals on the basis of different societal subareas. Taken as a whole, they contribute to a deeper understanding of the diversities of transformation by comparing Poland and East Germany.

We of Mod-Block-DDR wish you an insightful and thought-provoking read!
