Over a decade has passed since the collapse of communism, yet citizens of postcommunist countries are still far less likely to join voluntary organizations than people from other countries and regions of the world. Why do postcommunist citizens mistrust and avoid public organizations? What explains this distinctive pattern of weak civil society? And what does it mean for the future of democracy in postcommunist Europe? In this engaging study, Marc Morj Howard addresses these questions by developing a provocative argument about the powerful and enduring impact of the communist experience on its countries and citizens. Howard argues that the legacy of the communist experience of mandatory participation in statecontrolled organizations, the development and persistence of vibrant private networks, and the tremendous disappointment with developments since the collapse of communism have left most postcommunist citizens with a lasting aversion to public activities. In addition to analyzing data from over 30 democratic and democratizing countries in the World Values Survey, Howard presents extensive and original evidence from his own research in Eastern Germany and Russia, including indepth interviews with ordinary citizens and an original representative survey.
