It is one of the most multifaceted and contradictory regions, characterised by inequalities, discontinuities and conflicts, but also by intensive exchange, cross-border cooperation and migration. Here, openness, isolation, dynamic growth, industrial decline, radical free trade experiments, state-directed isolationism, new wealth, new poverty, transnational identities, and a new nationalism come together...
