Books about Central Eastern Europe and the Balkans
PECOB offers a significant number of books, mainly published by universities and scientific institutions.
The books here presented focus primarily on the economic, political and social transition in Central Eastern European countries and the Balkans since the 90s, and on those areas' influence on the widening Europe. Issues concerning gender relations, migrations, regional economic cooperation, religions, nationalism and national identities are broadly discussed. Many books also focus on the history of Eastern Europe, economics and regional cooperation in Central Eastern Europe and the Balkans. Literary works recently trasnlated from Eastern European languages are also included in this section. Some of the books are available for dowload.
Recently added books address issues such as Hungary in 1956, the demise of the Soviet Union, proceedings from a conference on cooperation in the Balkans, Yugoslavia and the 1968 events in Czechoslovakia.

Wild Europe - The Balkans in the Gaze of Western Travellers
(published in: Jan, 2003)
"In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, hundreds and hundreds of Western travellers crisscrossed the Balkans in every direction, but a lot of them did not see it for itself.
