Description
Drawing on archival sources as well as published materials in eight languages, Jan Kofman analyzes both the intent and the efficacy of nationalist policies and economic protectionism in Europe's central and eastern regions - traditionally, its weaker and less industrialized states. He concludes that such policies, where implemented, generally succeeded in promoting individual state's economic growth and modernization during the interwar period.
