Democracy in Western and Postcommunist Countries : Twenty Years after the Fall of Communism Paperback / softback
Edited by Tadeusz Buksinski
Part of the DIA-LOGOS series
Paperback / softback
Description
The authors of this book, scholars from Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Ukraina, Kirghizia and Poland, seek to answer the question, in what way the Westeuropean and postcommunist countries respond to the challenges posed to them by democratization in Central and Eastern Europe and European constitutional politics and policymaking.
New democracies necessarily pose a challenge to non-democratic states, because they liberated themselves from the totalitarian regime.
They pose a challenge for the old liberal democracies too, because they try to compromise individual interests and freedoms with traditional prepolitical and political group identities.
But just the model of democracy can be followed in many non-Western countries which aspire to establish a democratic order.
This book raises the questions that are particularly significant to the present-day political practice in its European and global dimensions.
It is intended as a companion volume for all those who combine their academic research with wider interests in the promoting of democracy in the period of globalization and under the new pressures of European constitutional politics.
