This book compares the current status of democracy in selected
Eastern European countries. The focus is on young people's
attitudes towards and experiences of democracy, including active
political engagement. In many of these countries, democracy has
been hard-won and may well need to be defended again in the future.
The contributors collectively reflect on young adults exercising
their civic rights and how they can influence the political system
at both formal and informal levels. The chapters present different
issues that arise in unique contexts but overall reflect the
changing status of democracy and its effects on young people's
citizenship activity and education. The volume compares
perspectives of three groups of Eastern European countries with
different traditions and past histories of democracy and
citizenship: Central European countries (Poland, Czech, Hungary);
Baltic countries (Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia); and post-soviet
republics (Ukraine, Moldova). These countries differ in the status
given to democracy, citizenship action traditions and education. At
the same time, many countries have experienced recent turbulence
related to democracy and different kinds of actions by young
people. Comparing them leads to conclusions about omissions made in
current citizenship education provision and what needs to be done
for a better understanding of the needs of citizenship education in
these difficult times. This volume will be of interest to students
and scholars in citizenship and civic education, sociology,
political science and Eastern European Studies.
