Democratic Innovations in Central and Eastern Europe expands research on democratic innovations by looking specifically at different forms of democratic innovations in Central and Eastern Europe.The book covers direct democracy (referendums in particular), deliberative democracy practices and e-participation – forms which are salient in practice because they match the political realities of our time. Expert contributors show how the recent actions of ordinary citizens in several Central and Eastern European countries have challenged the contemporary political order, and grassroots movements and diverse forms of mobilization have challenged the notion of weak civil societies in the East. The empirical evidence presented attempts to deepen citizen involvement in political contexts sometimes quite different from the democratic political systems in the Western world. Using lessons from a still largely underexplored part of Europe, the book both complements and revises theoretical approaches, or complements empirical results in existing studies on democratic innovations.Democratic Innovations in Central and Eastern Europe will be of great interest to scholars working on democracy, political systems, political engagement, and Central and Eastern European politics. The chapters originally published as a special issue of Contemporary Politics.

What influence have the OSCE, Council of Europe, EU and Russia had on policy and legislative adaptation in Estonia and Ukraine since 1991? ‘Stateness’ is congruence between the territorial definition and the right of citizenship in the state. Surprisingly, it is a much-neglected concept in the state-building and democratisation literature. To address this gap, the concept of stateness is expanded upon and used in this work to answer the above question. This is done by means of analysis of policy areas operationalising stateness. By analysing the impact of the international actors cited above as the causal factor in the consolidation of stateness, conclusions are drawn as to the manner of influence of their policy demands and expectations on domestic policy and legislative adaptation in Estonia and Ukraine since 1991. The theoretical and conceptual contribution to state-building in comparative European politics is thus developed further by this work. Moreover, the empirical contribution provides an applicable operationalisation of the concept through respective policy areas. Olena Podolian is a political scientist. This study is her dissertation, completed at the Department of Political Science, and in connection with the Baltic and East European Graduate School (BEEGS), at Södertörn University, Sweden.
