In this second edition&;which significantly updates and expands the previous edition to include a new introduction, revisions throughout, as well as five new chapters, including timely material on ethnic war in the former Yugoslavia&;Ramet extends and develops the theory of social change upon which th is based.
      Ramet draws on interviews conducted over a ten-year period with individuals active in arenas for social change&;intellectual dissent, feminism, religious activism, youth cultures and movements, and trade unionism&;in eight East European countries: East Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Romania, Bulgaria, and Albania.
