Only a few people foresaw the sudden and momentous events of 1989: within
months the seemingly unshakable communist regimes of Eastern Europe were
washed away and with them the postwar international order. This book gives an
overview over the national revolutions and external reactions. It contains chapters
on the revolutions in all major countries of the former communist bloc as well
as on the responses of all major international players. The first part examines
the revolutionary events – from above and from below – in Eastern Europe as
well as China and their backgrounds. The second part deals with Soviet and
Western perceptions and responses. The third part focuses on the aftermath of
the revolutions, on societal transformations, the acceptance of the new Central
European democracies to NATO and the EU, and on the memory of 1989.
