Summary: | In his panel discussion, Nagy discusses the problem of East Central Europe, how it should be an international concern. He distinguishes between peoples and nations, he claims that those peoples in East Central Europe have been deprived of nationhood by the communist regimes that control them. After giving background on how communism got its foothold in that region and explaining its means of keeping in power, he describes the kind of change he foresees, because of economic development, intellectual unrest, and the general growing instability of totalitarian communism. He ends by discussing the ways in which America could and should involve itself in pushing toward this change.
