Civil Society in the Baltic Sea Region available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This title was first published in 2003. The Baltic Sea region offers exceptionally rich material for the discussion of civil society. This is because it has witnessed the erosion of communist regimes, the crisis of the welfare state, the increasing importance of new social movements and the shift from a centralist paradigm to one oriented towards networks. This engaging book focuses on the phenomena and prospects for civil society in north-eastern Europe which have had a major impact on political and scholarly debates since 1989. Nineteen experts from the region provide a comprehensive and comparative account of the history, the present state and the perspectives of civil society in the Baltic Sea area. The reader will learn that civil society should not only be seen in opposition to the state and that it has a major impact on current developments of European integration.

Nation-Building in the Baltic States available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The product of more than twenty years of research, first-person observations, discussions, and policy analyses, Nation-Building in the Baltic States: Transforming Governance, Social Welfare, and Security in Northern Europe explores the characteristics of the Baltic states as positioned in the northeast corridor in terms of military strife and polity development such as democratization. It details governments' efforts to abet transparency and trust by way of developing new public and private institutions for advancements like innovation and private wealth creation. The book examines the effects of various factors of economic and social adjustments in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. The authors explore the opportunities and problems that have shaped the region’s progress in the process of rebuilding democratic institutions and nation states after regaining their independence. They then describe the region’s progress in laying the critical internal foundation necessary for maintaining their political independence. The book also reviews the progress made in strengthening what the authors believe are key social functions of government in what the EU describes as its social market system: the provision of social welfare services that meets the needs of all. The book concludes with a realistic picture of future hurdles for this region, looking at lingering challenges and regional instabilities, policy mistakes not to be made again, and recommendations for national planning and resource management. Going beyond a massive, single explanation of recent Baltic developments, the book provides a broad picture of development of social and political trends and insights with separate evaluations of issues in the process of national transformation. It provides a foundation examining the forces that will shape the future of the Baltic states.

Civil Society in the Baltic States available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The development of democracy in Central and Eastern Europe has become a predominant subject of research since the collapse of the USSR, whereas much amount of research on democratic processes in Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia or even Russia has given a comprehensive understanding of such processes in these countries, the Baltic States have been less explored, even less analysis on the relationship between civil society and democracy, and the ways in which non-governmental organizations, as a part of civil society, influence democracy. The book "Civil Society in the Baltic States.Impact on Democracy" analytically and empirically evaluates the impact of non-governmental organizations on democracy in the Baltic States, analyses the theoretical framework of relations between civil society, democracy and non-governmental organizations. This study is a valuable input into research of social sciences, and is in the interest of researchers, students and civil servants.
