'A welcome contribution to the field of European Studies. The main strength of the book is contextualization and rich interpretation of several less known, non-banal and fascinating cases that may become a real eye-opener for everyone keen on learning more about Europe’s eastern half. [...] It deserves much credit for its methodological effort, critical insights and thoughtful analysis of the selected cases. It suggests a step in the right direction, as the reader is eventually urged to reflect on how we see, portray and interpret Europe in the changing global conditions.'
