The authors assess the potential for election cycles and public demonstrations to create a viable civil society in Armenia, rather than an imitation or "carnival" one. Using anthropological approaches, including participant observation during various kinds of demonstrations, protests, and election campaigns, the authors conclude that aspects of civil society beyond the formation of nongovernmental organizations [NGOs], are developing in Armenia. However, these processes have been hindered by authorities. While focus is on the capital, Erevan, rural and urban changes are explored
