What is the relationship between democracy and political culture in
countries undergoing major systemic change? Have subjective
political orientations of citizens been important in shaping the
development of democracy in central and eastern Europe after the
fall of communism?
These core questions are tackled by an impressive range of twenty
political scientists, sixteen of which are based in the central and
eastern European countries covered in this essential new book.
Their analyses draw on a unique set of data collected and processed
by the contributors to this volume within the framework of the
World Values Survey project. This data enables these authors to
establish similarities and differences in support of democracy
between a large number of countries with different cultural and
structural conditions as well as historical legacies.
The macro-level findings of the book tend to support the
proposition that support of democracy declines the further east one
goes. In contrast, micro-level relationships have been found to be
astonishingly similar. For example, support of democracy is always
positively related to higher levels of education no matter where an
individual citizen happens to live. This new book builds a clear
understanding of what makes democracies strong and resistant to
autocratic temptation.
