DEMOCRACY IN WESTERN AND POSTCOMMUNIST COUNTRIE...

The authors of this book  scholars from Austria  Czech Republic  Hungary  Ukraina  Kirghizia
and Poland  seek to answer the question  in what way the Westeuropean and postcommunist
countries respond to the challenges posed to them by democratization in Central and Eastern
Europe and European constitutional politics and policymaking. New democracies necessarily pose
a challenge to non-democratic states  because they liberated themselves from the totalitarian
regime. They pose a challenge for the old liberal democracies too  because they try to
compromise individual interests and freedoms with traditional prepolitical and political group
identities. But just the model of democracy can be followed in many non-Western countries which
aspire to establish a democratic order. This book raises the questions that are particularly
significant to the present-day political practice in its European and global dimensions. It is
intended as a companion volume for all those who combine their academic research with wider
interests in the promoting of democracy in the period of globalization and under the new
pressures of European constitutional politics.
