The Changing Face of Central Europe Over the Next Decade

Abstract

The next decade will see many changes in the political, military and economic structure of Central Europe. Many factors will have contributed to that change, but no one person will have had a greater impact on events than Mikhail Gorbachev, the charismatic leader of the Soviet Union. This paper examines the impact that the events of the past five years will have on Central Europe. Specifically, it addresses the changes in East/West relations both militarily and politically; it analyses the problems facing Eastern and Western Europe as they move closer towards financial integration in the 90s. Finally, it assesses the effect that the European Community's 1992 programme will have on U.S. economic relations in the years ahead.
