Reclaiming Democracy: Civil Society and Electoral Change in Central and Eastern Europe, 2007
Edited by
Joerg Forbrig and Pavol Demes (German Marshall Fund of the United States,
January, 2007) provides a compelling analysis of civil
society’s role in fostering democratic change in Slovakia, Croatia, Serbia,
Georgia and Ukraine over the past several years.
Reclaiming Democracy provides a panorama of the civil society efforts,
pre-election campaigns and civic movements that contributed significantly to
democratic breakthroughs in each of these five countries. It brings together
case studies contributed by key activists who are in a position to share unique
insider knowledge. The second part provides a set of comparative perspectives,
systematically tracing differences and similarities. The book is an invaluable
asset for anyone studying or wishing to emulate this region’s post-communist
transitions.
The book’s
co-editor Pavol Demes and four prime contributors – Valerie Bunce,
Martin Butora, Ivan Krastev and Sharon Wolchik – are members of the Project on
Democratic Transitions (PDT) Transantlantic Steering Group. Although the book is
not a direct product of the Project, its findings are highly relevant to its
analysis and policy-related goals.
