This book explores the emergence, and in Poland, Hungary, and Russia the coming to power, of politicians and political parties rejecting the consensus around market reforms, democratization, and rule of law that has characterized moves toward an "open society" from the 1990s. It discusses how over the last decade these political actors, together with various think tanks, intellectual circles, and religious actors, have increasingly presented themselves as "conservatives," and outlines how these actors are developing a new local brand of conservatism as a full-fledged ideology that counters the perceived liberal overemphasis on individual rights and freedom, and differs from the ideology of the established, present-day conservative parties of Western Europe. Overall, the book argues that the "renaissance of conservatism" in these countries represents variations on a new, illiberal conservatism that aims to re-establish a strong state sovereignty defining and pursuing a national path of development.

Business leaders exert extraordinary influence on institution building in market economies but they think and act within institutional settings. This book combines both an elite approach with a varieties-of-capitalism approach. Comparing Poland, Hungary and East and West Germany, we perceive the transformations in East Central Europe and in Germany after 1989 as being intertwined. Based on a joint survey, this book seeks to measure the level of the convergence of ideas among European business leaders, assuming it to be more extensive than the institutional convergence expected under the dominance of neoliberal discourse. Analyzing the institutional framework, organizational features like size, ownership and labour relations, and subjective characteristics like age, social origin, career patterns and attitudes of the recent business elites, we found significant differences between countries and the types of organization. The growing importance of economic degrees and internationalization shows astonishingly little explanatory power on the views of business leaders. The idea of a coordinated market economy is still relatively widespread among Germans, while their Hungarian and Polish counterparts are more likely to display a minimalist view of corporate responsibility to society and adverse attitudes towards employee representation. However, their attitudes frequently tend to be inconsistent, which mirrors the mixed type of capitalism in East Central Europe.

This book explores the contradictory development of gender roles in Central and Eastern Europe including Russia. In light of the social changes that followed the collapse of communism and the rise of new conservatism in Eastern Europe, it studies new forms of gender relationships and reassesses the status quo of female empowerment. Moreover, leading scholars in gender studies discuss how right-wing populism and conservative movements have affected sociopolitical discourses and concepts related to gender roles, rights, and attitudes, and how Western feminism in the 1990s may have contributed to this conservative turn.Mainly focusing on power constellations and gender, the book is divided into four parts: the first explores the history of and recent trends in feminist movements in Eastern Europe, while the second highlights the dynamics and conflicts that gained momentum after neoconservative parties gained political power in post-socialist countries. In turn, the third partdiscusses new empowerment strategies and changes in gender relationships. The final part illustrates the identities, roles, and concepts of masculinity created in the sociocultural and political context of Eastern Europe.

Die vorliegende Studie ist eine überarbeitete und erweiterte Fassung eines Forschungsberichts, welcher im Rahmen der Max-Planck-Arbeitsgruppe "Transformationsprozesse in den neuen Bundesländern" unter Leitung von Prof. Helmut Wiesenthai an der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin entstanden ist. Mein Dank gilt der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft, die mir zwischen 1994 und 1996 durch ein Post-Doc-Stipendium diese Forschung ermöglicht hat. Wirt schaftskooperation ist ein schwieriges, mitunter heikles und häufig auch komplexes Feld. Ohne die Gesprächsbereitschaft und Geduld meiner Inter viewpartner wäre es kaum möglich gewesen, diese Arbeit voranzubringen, und daflir möchte ich mich ganz besonders bedanken. Bei der Projektbearbeitung und dem Schreiben des Buches erhielt ich von unterschiedlichen Seiten Anregungen, Unterstützung und Kritik, die für mich unschätzbar waren. Ich möchte mich bei den Kolleginnen und Kollegen der Max-Planck-Arbeitsgruppe, die 1996 ihren regulären Abschluß fand, bedanken, ganz besonders bei Ulrike Berger, Petra Stykow, Jan Wielgohs, Lora Renz-Moritz und Helmuth Wiesenthai sowie bei Christine Steiner, die für einen erheblichen Teil der Interviews die Arbeit des Protokollierens auf sich genommen hat. Großen Dank gebührt auch meinen Kolleginnen und Kollegen vom Institut für Soziologie der Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena, die nicht nur einen wichtigen Diskussionszusammenhang für die Fertigstel lung dieses Buches boten, sondern auch Thesen und Darstellung in unter schiedlichen Phasen der Arbeit kritisch kommentierten. Vor allem möchte ich mich bei Michael Behr, Hans-Joachim Gergs, Gerd Möll, Rudi Schmidt und Margot Stock bedanken. Gudrun Richter übernahm in akribischer De tailarbeit die Endkorrektur und überprüfte dieLiteraturangaben, so daß noch so manche Fehler und Satzmißbildungen ausgemerzt werden konnten.
