Diese überarbeitete Fassung eines 1991 in Ungarn erschienenen (Schul-)Lehrbuches hat schon wegen eines Geleitwortes des Staatspräsidenten fast offiziellen Charakter. Die stellenweise minutiöse, sparsam illustrierte Darstellung über die Ereignisse 1956/57 (zugleich die Vorgeschichte - Aufsatz von Hoensch/ s. BA 11/91 - und die 1963 endende Repressionsschlußphase streifend) und deren unorthodoxe Wertung wird nicht nur Ungarn-Spezialisten fesseln. Vor allem wegen der Einbettung der 56er Revolution in die Osteuropaentwicklung bis zur Gegenwart schon für mittlere Bibliotheken. Auch Lexikonfunktion: detaillierte Zeittafel, erläuterndes Personenregister, Bibliographie hauptsächlich deutschsprachiger Titel. (2 S) (Gert Kreusel)

Central and Eastern Europe has a long history of, on the one hand, ethnic conflicts and, on the other, of a revolutionary tradition against expansionism. Both have their roots in the geographical situation and ethnic composition of the region. All these problems have surfaced at times when the political status quo has been upset for some reason, such as after the two world wars and after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Both great powers bordering the Danube region-Germany and Russia-have strived to develop their own versions of confederations (Mitteleuropa and Pan-Slavic movements). Also, politicians and intellectuals of the countries affected have proposed various theories, and made initiatives for different forms of closer or looser confederative formations. This book examines the reasons for the failure of these initiatives, these reasons including such factors as ethnically-motivated political antagonism, and the lack of economic complementarity. Contributing valuable information on the problems of political and economic integration, which should not be forgotten in a period when the countries of the region are looking towards the European Union, expecting-realistically or not-the solution of their various conflicts
