Expert contributors show how the recent actions of ordinary citizens in several Central and Eastern European countries have challenged the contemporary political order, and grassroots movements and diverse forms of mobilization have challenged the notion of weak civil societies in the East. The empirical evidence presented attempts to deepen citizen involvement in political contexts sometimes quite different from the democratic political systems in the Western world. Using lessons from a still largely underexplored part of Europe, the book both complements and revises theoretical approaches, or complements empirical results in existing studies on democratic innovations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDemocratic Innovations in Central and Eastern Europe\u003c\/em\u003e will be of great interest to scholars working on democracy, political systems, political engagement, and Central and Eastern European politics.
