In the ensuing decades, two shipyards that were once the pride of their cities - in Gdynia, Poland, and Pula, Croatia - went bankrupt, unable to withstand global competition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough an interdisciplinary study of these two shipyards, \u003cem\u003e In the Storms of Transformation\u003c\/em\u003e brings together a team of researchers to re-evaluate the shift from state socialism to market capitalism and offer a new periodization. With perspectives from social anthropology, sociology, and business history, the book argues that this transformation began with the oil crisis of the early 1970s and ended with EU accession - in 2004 in Poland and in 2013 in Croatia - highlighting the EU competition laws and global competition that pushed the shipyards into bankruptcy and diminishing the role of the revolutions of 1989.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn the Storms of Transformation\u003c\/em\u003e bridges local labour history with global market forces, going beyond prevalent narratives of loss and nostalgia or successful neoliberal change to offer a novel and nuanced reading of post-communist transformation and its contradictions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUlf Brunnbauer\u003c\/b\u003e is the academic director of the Leibniz Institute for East and Southeast European Studies and holds the Chair of Southeast and East European History at the University of Regensburg.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePhilipp Ther\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor of Central European history and founder of the Research Center for the History of Transformations (RECET) at the University of Vienna.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePiotr Filipkowski\u003c\/b\u003e is an assistant professor at the Institute of Philosophy and Sociology at the Polish Academy of Sciences.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAndrew Hodges\u003c\/b\u003e is a book editor and literary translator at The Narrative Craft.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eStefano Petrungaro\u003c\/b\u003e is an associate professor in the Department of Linguistics and Comparative Cultural Studies at Ca' Foscari University of Venice.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePeter Wegenschimmel\u003c\/b\u003e is the head of archives at the University of Kassel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 290\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 24, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53343183864115,"sku":"9781487550349","price":75.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/QeLDVwXWig9781487550349.webp?v=1778706138","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/in-the-storms-of-transformation-two-shipyards-between-socialism-and-the-eu-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
