zum Heft

Mehr Scharfsinn auf den Zerfall Europas in eine westliche und eine östliche Sphäre ist in einer Zeitschrift wahrscheinlich noch nie verwendet worden.
Gregor Dotzauer, Der Tagesspiegel, 5.8.2018

In 30 Aufsätzen wird auf brillante Weise die jüngste Entwicklung beider Länder nachgezeichnet, analysiert und erklärt. Der Sammelband handelt das Thema so umfassend ab, dass sowohl Kenner der Materie wie auch allgemein Interessierte bei der Lektüre wertvolle Einsichten gewinnen.
