Soft cover. Zustand: New. 243 pp. This study provides a comparative perspective of Estonian local government during the two periods of national independence (1918-1940 and since 1991). The author applies a historical institutionalist approach in her research and focuses on county governments, the institution of the mayor, and electoral rules. The research delves into how the legacies of the interwar period have shaped institutional choices during the post-communist period, with the conclusion that both interwar and communist legacies can explain some of these choices during the 1990s.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book deals with mnemonic migration understood as the movement of memories across linguistic, cultural and mnemonic borders via the medium of literature. In contemporary literature, there is a growing number of authors with migration experience, some of whom write not in native tongue, but in their second or third language and who represent their experience of migration as encounter of different historical memories. When migrating to a new place, people enter not only a new political and cultural structure, but also a new framework of memory. They need to adjust their historical imaginaries, thereby also contesting and expanding the framework they enter. The volume explores how contemporary literature addresses specific historical legacies, juxtaposes them multidirectionally and disseminates them in original and through translation in different parts of the world and in various social contexts. Furthermore, this volume traces literature's role in the processes of memory circulation, translation and reception from the interdisciplinary perspectives of cultural memory studies, translation studies, reception studies and the studies of migrant and multilingual literature.
