Book Synopsis

Activism in Hard Times in Central and Eastern Europe elevates the voices of civic activists from Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and analyzes a wealth of information to generate new insights into how activism in the region manages to be vibrant, diverse, and consequential.

Giving special attention to activists in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), Hungary, Poland, Russia, and Ukraine, the book focuses on responses to the recent âœhard timesâ â the shrinking of public space for civil society, democratic backsliding, polarization, and Russiaâs war in Ukraine. The contributors contend that CEE activists provide important lessons for others confronting similar challenges around the world.

The book is well-suited for a variety of undergraduate and graduate courses, such as comparative politics, human rights, global governance, social
