peer agreement (net): +7In-Between Europe Explanation: The intention to disentangle the geographical reference from the normative connotations of the Central European paradigm led to a number of conceptual solutions. One of the most popular is ‘in-between Europe’ (Köztes-Európa), which was obviously rooted in an attempt to emancipate the geographical terminology of its pathos, but to retain its reference to a regional entity between the two (i.e., German and Russian) geopolitical zones of influence. www.ece.ceu.hu/files/pdf/volumes/32/historical_regions.pdf -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 14 mins (2009-12-17 14:44:21 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The term Zwischeneuropa, literally "In-Between Europe," as Pándi points out, is in itself politically motivated and serves to define these small states as a buffer zone between Russia and Europe. What is characteristic of the whole area is multi-ethnicity, fragmentation, a state of amalgam. Apart from short periods, it was mostly directed from the outside, from Vienna, Berlin, St. Petersburg, and Constantinople, but the small nations, striving to become nation-states, always protested against this fact. http://www.c3.hu/scripta/books/96/03/05palo.htm |
