What is the relation between democracy and political culture in countries undergoing systematic changes? How are people&'s beliefs and values supporting or hindering the development of democracy in central and eastern Europe after the fall of communism? How compatible are their goals with those of the other peoples of the European Union? These questions are addressed by an international group of social scientists, with the insights of insiders being complemented by others with an outside perspective.
