The Fate of Ethnic Democracy in Post-Communist Europe
The break-up of the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia has unleashed
two grand forces: a drive for democratization on Western lines and the
resurgence of ethnonational conflicts. It is anticipated that these post-
Communist states may develop a new regime that combines institutionalized
dominance of an ethnic majority with democratic rights for all. This mixed, non-
Western type of system is amenable for analysis by Sammy Smooha's model of
ethnic democracy, based on Israel.
In this volume, the model is applied by country specialists to Estonia, Latvia,
Georgia, Macedonia, Serbia, Kosovo and Bosnia-Herzegovina. From these seven
case studies, Smooha draws comparisons and conclusions about the model and
regimes in post-Communist Europe.
