Article Abstract:
Many Eastern European countries formerly under communist rule appear to be making significant headway in institutionalizing democracy just a decade after the Berlin Wall fell. The preference for democratic values has consistently been demonstrated by voters who time and again have rejected anti-democratic alternatives. In line with the new political and economic realities, 10 post-communist countries have applied for membership in the European Union.
