The Strange Politics of Federative Ideas in East-Central Europe
2013
Overview
In 1940, James Shotwell introduced a book on Balkan federation with the words that the page of European history with which this volume deals is one so out of keeping with the major trend of that history at the present time as to seem utterly unreal. Shotwell assumed a basic incompatibility between the ideal of federation and the violence of war that was consuming Europe at the time. Nor was he alone in holding that view. The war seemed to force federalism into the back- ground, relegating federalist ideas and idealists to an impotent exile Meanwhile, the right-its very essence rooted in conflict between nations-was having its way in Europe. Here, Case explores how incompatible federative schemes were with the radicalism of the right leading up to, during, and just after the Second World War.
