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. Now for the first time there
is a comparative study of civil society and democratization across
post-Soviet national borders. Acknowledging the enormous variation
throughout the region, the book offers unique data on developments
in Russia, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Applying an innovative
analytical framework derived from theories of democratization,
civil society, social movements and transnational relations, the
researchers have formulated broader comparisons and generalisations
without neglecting the specific post-Soviet context. The book
provides a systematic comparison across sectors as well as nations,
and includes chapters 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.
