Our second issue of the CEE Affairs Review seeks to delve into the ‘dividing’ issues of the CEE region, and analyse how this region continues to deal with borders and boundaries that, in many ways, define Central and Eastern Europe.

Our Special Edition ‘Looking East’ delves into
the multifaceted interactions between
Russia and the countries nestled within the
heart of Europe. Our mission is to provide
an insightful and balanced perspective that
transcends mere headlines, fostering a deeper
understanding of the historical, political,
economic, and cultural ties that connect these regions together.

Our first issue shows that there is more to democracy in Central and Eastern Europe than just a simple story of a clash between hope and harsh reality throughout the last 30 years. With a vision of diverse epistemic standpoints, our authors in this issue tackle questions surrounding the past, present, and future of democracy in CEE.
