Description - The Quality of Democracy in Post-Communist Europe by DEREK HUTCHESON
Fifteen years on from the collapse of the Berlin Wall, Europe is a very different place. It is no longer possible to speak of 'Eastern Europe' as a homogenous group of states. The countries of the former Eastern Bloc and the former Soviet Union have exhibited remarkable diversity in their post-communist regime paths. Whereas some states have become demonstrably more democratic and have moved in the space of fifteen years from the periphery to the centre of European politics, in others the political and economic climates seem hardly to be better, and their societies no more free than in the final years of the Cold War. Assessing progress towards democracy in the former Eastern Block - or the lack of it - requires a qualitative examination of post-communist polities. This collection of articles brings together a number of perspectives, both macro and micro-analytical, on the 'quality' of democracy in post-communist Europe, a decade and a half on from the start of the transition process.
