- The impact of the region's powerful Russian and Germanic neighbours
- Rival concepts of 'Central' and 'Eastern' Europe
- The experience and consequences of the two World Wars
- Varieties of fascism in Eastern Europe
- The impact of Communism from the 1940s to the 1980s

A History of Eastern Europe now includes two new chronologies – one for the Balkans and one for East-Central Europe – and a glossary of key terms and concepts, providing comprehensive coverage of a complex past, from antiquity to the present day.
