Trust in Women’s Civil Society Organizations in Central and Eastern Europe
This article uses an original survey experiment to identify factors influencing trust in women’s CSOs, which throughout the post-communist region have attracted substantial support from donors promoting democratization and human rights. The experiment conducted in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Czechia, Poland and Russia examines how norms they pursue, funding source, and government rhetoric affect trust in women’s organization. We find that norms affec…
Polish society’s humanitarian uprising
Activism in Hard Times in Central and Eastern Europe
Activism in Hard Times in Central and Eastern Europe elevates the voices of civic activists from Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and analyzes a wealth of information to generate new insights into how activism in the region manages to be vibrant, diverse, and consequential. Because of these countries' unique historical trajectory, CEE activists have, in important ways, leap-frogged their counterparts in the West. Giving special attention to activ…
Forging Democracy in the Flames
This study examines democracy promotion during interstate war, focusing on Polish NGO efforts during Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. By examining the efforts of Polish NGOs during the ongoing war in Ukraine, the study explores the strategies, areas of focus, and shifts in approaches compared to the pre-war period. The objective is to shed light on the rationale behind democracy promotion; delineate the evolving roles, approaches, and tac…
Shrinking, Shifting, and Strengthening
Thirty years after communism’s demise, Polish civil society is, decidedly, self-sustaining, and wide-ranging, with activism focused on various issues, from the natural environment to education reform to reproductive rights. This paper uses data from interviews and a nationally representative survey to explore the evolution of activism in Poland and specifically the claim that Polish citizens are more likely to engage in civic action when these ef…
Introduction
Thirty years ago, many credited civil society for communism’s sudden and mostly peaceful demise in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). In the decades since, scholars have debated the definition, structure, impact, and strength of civil societies in this region. This article introduces a special section that provides theoretical, methodological, and empirical considerations of civil society activism in CEE thirty years after the end of communist reg…
The power of international criminal courts
International criminal courts are often given mandates without the authority or resources to enforce those directives. Given this, how do they achieve their objectives? We argue that in the case of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), the court strategically developed an accountability network comprised of governmental and nongovernmental actors, using its expertise and position to provide information and a framew…
From Adjudication to Aftermath
Thirty Years of Reform and Opening Up
In 1978, Deng Xiaoping declared that China's future depended on gaige kaifang (reform and opening up to the West). By any standard, China has reformed its economic system and prospered handsomely by integrating into the world economy. With less fanfare, China has taken steps to restructure its political system and committed substantial resources to harmonizing relations with its neighbors. Given these changes, China's insular tradition, and Commu…

Ethnic peace in the east
While a great deal is made of the international community's inability to prevent ethnic violence in Yugoslavia, little attention has been paid to international efforts to manage ethnic conflicts in the years since. With an emphasis on the spearheading initiatives of the CSCE/OSCE, this article fleshes out the meaning of the so-called ‘Bosnia effect’. It contends that, by the middle of the 1990s, a transnational network of governmental and non-gov…

Managing Ethnicity
It would be an exaggeration to say that Eastern Europe was ever awash with violent ethnic conflict. Nonetheless, communism's demise did contribute to about a dozen ethnic conflicts, and by the early 1990s numerous crisis points emerged. Yugoslavia was undeniably the worst case scenario, but ethnic tensions had reached a dangerous level in several other states, including Romania, Latvia, and Estonia. As these problems unfolded, some scholars predi…
Rebuilding Bosnia
What Have We Wrought
Although the Dayton accords have flaws, Western fatigue and Bosnian resentment are fueled by unrealistic expectations and impatience
Building Civil Societies in East Central Europe
Since the collapse of communism, East Central Europe has been a laboratory for democratic experimentation. On several fronts, the experiment appears to have been a great success. While many have described this historical transformation, too little has been written about the role of international actors in this process. This is surprising given the number of external actors, particularly American non-governmental organizations (NGOs). The article …
