About this title

Synopsis

This book examines the emergence and functioning of interest groups in post-communist society, an issue central to democratic transformation. Although the focus is on eastern Germany, comparisons are made throughout with the other countries of eastern and central Europe. Analysis of a number of interest groups, notably trade unions, business groups and professional associations, is set against the background of pluralist political theory. Stephen Padgett argues that the pattern of collective action in post-communist society falls short of the pluralist ideal, and examines the implications for both East and West.

Review

'This is an insightful, lucid volume that not only presents a wealth of information but also stands as a fine example of multidimensional, yet economical, social scientific analysis ... this is a fine volume that contributes much to our understanding of democracy and associational life in eastern Germany and east/central Europe. It raises provocative questions and casts doubt upon some of the more cherished notions about the future of democracy in this politically and economically significant region. given its clarity, the volume is appropriate not only for professionals and graduate students but also for undergraduates.' German Politics and Society
