Synopsis "A Decade Which Made History: The Council of Europe, 1989-1999: The Council of Euope 1989-1999 (in English)"

From the fall of the Berlin Wall to Kosovo, covering the unification of Germany, the break-up of the USSR and Yugoslavia, as well as the "velvet divorce" of Czechoslovakia, these last ten years have seen great upheavals in our continent, on a scale probably unparalleled since the fall of the Roman empire. The Council of Europe has played a special role in all of this, as the structure best qualified to welcome the new European democracies, and its membership has soared from 23 to 41 (including 17 central and east European countries) between 1990 and 1999. Truly "a decade which made history" - and one which the reader is invited to retrace in these pages.
