Project Summary:
This project aimed to strengthen the centers for public policy and the NGO sector in Russia - to increase their efficiency and ability to affect local public policy, moreover, to contribute to larger democratization of society and information access. The project supported new and emerging centers in Russia, attempting to fill the gap in the network of powerful non-governmental players through research activities and mutual networking.

This collection of articles, compiled by Democracy Reporting International (DRI) and Institute for European Policy EUROPEUM, responds to requests made by some Arab reformers to deepen their knowledge of how political change in Eastern Europe unfolded. Rather than focussing on the successful transitions, it presents case studies which recall the difficulties, pitfalls and political missteps which jeopardised these countries’ transitions and even caused some of them to fail.
