The development of civil society has varied greatly across the former Soviet Union. The Baltic states have achieved a high level of integration with the West and European Union membership, while some regions in Russia lag far behind. democratisation across post-Soviet national borders. Acknowledging the enormous variation throughout the region, Post-Soviet Civil Society offers unique data on developments in Russia, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.

Providing a systematic comparison across sectors as well as nations, this book includes sections on NGOs, the state and conflict, and transnationalisation. Quantitative survey data is combined with qualitative interviews and case study research to both confirm previous findings about the weakness of post-communist civil society and to qualify previous research in a number of ways. students of Russian and East European politics, but also for those with a general interest in democratization and civil society.
