Russia, Lithuania and Hungary all made the transition from communism to post-communism, though with very different motives and results. This book examines how the foreign policies of these three countries were affected by this process. The author analyzes the problems of the former imperial centre (Russia), the countries of the former internal empire (Lithuania) and those of the former external empire (Hungary). As well as drawing on these case studies, she addresses the problems facing the foreign policy-makers of post-communist societies as a whole, arguing that the West should treat seriously the aspirations of post-communist states to join institutions such as the EC and NATO.
