Europa östlich des WestensMiladinović Zalaznik, Mira (Urednik) Komel, Dean (Urednik) The situation of European countries east of west is, since the fall of communist systems, still determined by transition, the goals of which once seemed to be safeguarded—to achieve the conditions for a development that would, on the one hand, enable justice, human dignity, and economic prosperity, as well as, on the other hand, entail a membership in the community of European countries, regions, and cultures. The process of transition has so far lasted a whole generation and thus gives rise to the question, what has caused the hindrance of development envisioned in the 1990s, how can we explain the delays, and which means would be necessary to accelerate the process and to bring about the flourishing of the undeniable potentials. The development of these potentials promises a positive change in three directions: 1) for the wellbeing of the single individual; 2)for the material and spiritual harmonizing of the peoples living in the each of the countries and regions; and 3) for the improvement of mutual trust, of reciprocal respect, and of constructive collaboration within, above all, the European community of nations and cultures.Inštitut Nove revije, zavod za humanistiko20212026-01-14 11:27:45Zbornik25246UDK: 316.7(4)(082)ISBN: 978-961-7014-31-0COBISS_ID: 88473091slEvropa;
