Historian Luka Ivan Jukić joins New Lines’ Faisal Al Yafai to unpack the idea at the heart of his new book, “Central Europe: The Death of a Civilization and the Life of an Idea.”
They explore how the concept of Central Europe — revived during the Cold War by the novelist Milan Kundera — still shapes the way nations like Poland, Hungary and Croatia see themselves today. And in the shadow of the Ukraine war, that identity is much more than purely symbolic.
