Revue d’études comparatives est-ouest

Thursday, June 18th, 2009

Revue d’études comparatives est-ouest

This journal was created in 1970 by the CNRS to interrogate the geopolitical turmoil of Europe as a continent which has given rise to a higher level of uncertainty and stronger economical discrepancies. It is a leading authoritative source to a better understanding of the Eastern European region and countries, and their own ways towards democracy and market economy. – Publisher’s blurb.

Depuis sa création en 1970 par le CNRS, le bouleversement de la carte géopolitique du continent européen fait surgir davantage d’interrogations que de certitudes et les discontinuités économiques se renforcent. La Revue d’études comparatives Est-Ouest répond à la nécessité de mieux connaître les pays de cette zone et d’en comprendre les mutations vers la démocratie et l’économie de marché. – Publisher’s blurb.

Published in French with abstracts in English.
