Conference on Civil Society and Social Capital in Central and Eastern Europe
13 Junio 2008 - 16 Junio 2008
Lithuania
Should we expect civil society to be transformed from the one supporting its members to assisting institutional change? Should we also aspire new forms of social capital to slowly emerge that are less determined by structural constraints of the political regime, but rather by individual choice? Do these circumstances in the EU-15 differ from the ‘new outsiders’ with respect to potential developments in social capital and civil society? This conference will address this new relationship between civil society and social capital in post-enlargement Central and Eastern Europe.
The conference discussion will run along three analytical axes:
Path Dependency – Rational Choice approaches
Utilitarian – Idealistic explanations
Domestic – international factors
