Objective
The purpose of the project is threefold/ to provide a picture attitudes and mental modes of reasoning of the population in the above-mentioned post-communist Balkan countries in relation to democracy and interethnic understanding/ to explain the historical and cultural roots of these modes of social reasoning as well as their impact upon the interethnic relations and democratic development of the region and each country under examination/ to answer the following questions: a/ to what extent democratic values affect inter-ethnic perception and understanding depends on other factors like zero-sum game reasoning, historical myths, and political mobilization \'from above\'.The first part will be based on data analysis of the cross-national comparative survey that I have made in 2001 in several Balkan post-communist countries - Serbia and Montenegro, Macedonia and Bulgaria, and will consist of between-countries analysis. Besides, I will account for within-countries differences through a representative examination of the main ethnic groups within each country under examination. In the second part I am going to add an additional dimension of comparison - secondary analysis of survey data from the third wave of the World Values for the above mentioned south-east European countries, some Western countries (former West Germany and Spain), and several Central European post-communist countries (Poland, former East Germany and Estonia). Thus, the Western and the Central European post-communist countries will be used as a point of reference through which the peculiarities of the Balkan political culture and its relation to interethnic understanding will be revealed in a best way. Thus, there will be two levels of analysis in the study - the level of between- countries differences in political culture within the Balkan region, and between-regions differences (a comparison of South-eastern Europe, Central and Western Europe).
