This volume--the first in a series of books on democratic
consolidation in Eastern Europe--examines the constraints and
opportunities of institutional engineering in Eastern Europe. The
aim is to contrast a set of democracy theories with empirical
evidence accumulated in Eastern Europe over the last ten years.
Avoiding complex debates about definitions, methods, and the uses
and misuses of comparative research, this book instead tries to
establish what has really happened in the region and which of the
existing theories have proved helpful in explaining these
developments.
