| Summary | "The Belgian Curtain: Europe after Communism" by Samuel Vaknin is a scholarly analysis of post-communist Europe, likely written in the early 21st century. The work explores the political, social, and economic dynamics that emerged in Europe following the fall of communism, discussing the implications of EU expansion and NATO's evolving role in a changing geopolitical landscape. The opening of the text introduces the complexities surrounding the European Union and NATO's competing alliances, particularly in the context of the 2002 Treaty of Nice. It highlights how the integration of former communist states into these Western institutions reflects both an urgent geopolitical necessity and a fraught historical trajectory. Vaknin emphasizes the shift in perceptions among newly independent Eastern European countries as they navigate their contemporary alliances with the United States and their relationships with Western Europe, creating a nuanced backdrop for the discussions to follow in the rest of the publication.
