Summary/Abstract |
Focusing on the character of postcommunist extreme nationalist parties, the meaning of "the nation" and the role of historical memory in Central and Eastern Europe, the article defends the notion of "eastern" nationalism with an aim to suggest a more fruitful research into ethnic politics in the region. It argues that contemporary "eastern" nationalism has its own dynamic; it encompasses a number of themes and developments some of which confirm that the eastern part of the continent is more ethnic, but yet others that negate it and are perhaps showing a way forward in the Europe of the future.
