Publisher's Synopsis

The turmoil that shook Eastern Europe in the late 1980s and then started the disintegration of the Soviet Union touched off an intense debate about the forces behind the collapse of the Soviet-type system. Civil society, a key concept in the debate, is the focus of this volume, which contrasts the views of Eastern scholars and activists with those of Western academics on the definition, origins and function of civil society within a nation's public life.
