Special SSEES Guest Lecture by Professor Michael Bernhard (University of Florida)
In his lecture which draws on a paper co-authored with Dong-Joon Jung, Professor Bernhard argues that the strength of civil society at the point of extrication from communism is a powerful predictor of how 鈥渓iberal democratic鈥 post-communist regimes become.
In cases where civil society was stronger at the moment of extrication the elite was disposed to a more embedded model of capitalism with stronger social protection.
