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.
