Central European Nationalisms

Finding Common Solutions in the Work of Andrea Pipino

23 December 2019

On Andrea Pipino’s book Nationalisms. Illiberal democracies, authoritarian temptations and the identity of Central and Eastern Europe.

In mid-September of this year, the European Parliament adopted a motion for a resolution on the importance of European remembrance for the future of Europe, at the request of MEPs mainly from the countries of the former Eastern Bloc. The document aroused considerable controversy and revealed how difficult it is to build a common memory in countries with different sensitivities and different historical experiences. If more books such as Andrea Pipino’s Nationalisms were read by citizens of the European Union, it would be easier for us to understand each other and look for common solutions.
