In social sciences the notion of civil society has gained much
attention. The growing and diversifying of a civil sector is
evident in Western states. As a value in itself, it can be
interpreted as an important prerequisite for modern societies to
optimise the more and more complex task of problem solving. But the
question arises if the definition and outlook of civil society is
challenged as vision as well as reality in non Western-states
confronted with different problems and possessing different
structural and cultural-historical roots. Therefore the central
issue of the book is the development, the importance and the
functioning of the civil sector in the post-socialist countries of
Eastern Europe. The second directly connected issue is the question
about the character of the post-socialist transformations and the
diversity of development paths. The last issue is the question
about the role of regions, the struggle between decentralising and
centralising forces, and the problem of the social identity in new
states. This book aims to illustrate the diversity of developments
looking at special cases and by comparative analysis.
