This title was first published in 2003. The Baltic Sea region
offers exceptionally rich material for the discussion of civil
society. This is because it has witnessed the erosion of communist
regimes, the crisis of the welfare state, the increasing importance
of new social movements and the shift from a centralist paradigm to
one oriented towards networks. This engaging book focuses on the
phenomena and prospects for civil society in north-eastern Europe
which have had a major impact on political and scholarly debates
since 1989. Nineteen experts from the region provide a
comprehensive and comparative account of the history, the present
state and the perspectives of civil society in the Baltic Sea area.
The reader will learn that civil society should not only be seen in
opposition to the state and that it has a major impact on current
developments of European integration.
