Eastern Europe Beyond Empires

What can Eastern Europe reveal about a world beyond empires? This volume brings together emerging scholars from across Europe to reexamine imperial legacies, postcolonial perspectives, and evolving regional identities in an increasingly multipolar age. The contributors challenge established narratives and inherited geopolitical assumptions while offering fresh insights into the forces reshaping global politics today. Drawing on original empirical research as well as broader reflections on world order, they speak to scholars of Eastern Europe and Area Studies and engage wider debates in international relations, history, and contemporary political thought.
