This book discusses in detail how Orthodox Christianity was
involved in and influenced political transition in Ukraine, Serbia,
and Georgia after the collapse of communism. Based on original
research, including extensive interviews with clergy and
parishioners as well as historical, legal, and policy analysis, the
book argues that the nature of the involvement of churches in
post-communist politics depended on whether the interests of the
church (for example, in education, the legal system or economic
activity) were accommodated or threatened: if accommodated,
churches confined themselves to the sacred domain; if threatened,
they engaged in daily politics. If churches competed with each
other for organizational interests, they evoked the support of
nationalism while remaining within the religious domain.
