2. I have consciously chosen to refer to the east and west of Europe in lower case throughout this paper. The use of capital letters to designate East and West implies that these entities are bounded, known, and knowable in particular political and geographical ways, and there is a whole range of conceptual baggage that therefore accompanies these designations. Most problematically, the terminology of East and West recalls an ideological divide that is not well attenuated to any discussion of the post-cold war period and its possibilities. I have therefore chosen to use the lower case as a continual reminder that these categories are not immutable - that they are, in fact, socially constructed, contingent discursive entities whose meanings and designations are in continuous motion.

6. Of course, taken even further, it would be necessary to problematize the state itself as an ontological category. The confines of this paper prohibit a larger discussion of the state as an ontological category, but the reader can sample such discussions in Jacques Derrida, "Force of Law: The Mystical Foundation of Authority," in Cornell, Rosenfeld, and Carlson (eds.), Deconstruction and the Possibility of Justice, Routledge (London: 1994), and
