  Foreign Affairs - On Civil Society: Why Eastern Europe's Revolutions Could Succeed - Michael Ignatieff
A civil society, as the eighteenth?century theorists understood it, was not necessarily a democratic society.
A society that offers no ideological quarter to the profane, to the selfish, acquisitive, self?interested sides of human motivation, leaves itself vulnerable when the promised paradise never materializes and the collective enthusiasm of total mobilization is succeeded, as it must be, by exhaustion and disillusion.
Without a strong civil society, there cannot be a debate about what kind of market to have, what portions of its surplus should be put to the use of present and future generations, and what standards of legal and commercial behavior are required to make it function properly.

 A World Connected - The Rebirth of Civil Society in Eastern Europe   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, Eastern European governments have done their fair share of shuffling as they attempt to adapt themselves to Western styles of capitalist democracy.
Eastern Europe, on the other hand, has had only a few years to develop this industry, but already social entrepreneurs have stepped in to create it.
This is a far cry from the days when Eastern Europeans interested in distributing this kind of information typed on seven carbon copies at once or simply wrote them down with a good old pen and paper.

In Eastern Europe, Stalinism eased, and some of the social changes of the West were present as well, with the Soviets emphasizing its new status.
The movement reflected attempts to redefine women in the new industrial society as earlier attempts had redefined male roles during the first stage of industrialization.
To halt emigration, the Berlin Wall was constructed in 1961, and the border between Soviet-controlled Eastern Europe and the West was marked by barbed wire.

In an effort to intimidate and control members of civil society, authorities arbitrarily and regularly detain them, call them in for interrogation, monitor their activities, and search their homes and offices.

During the Taliban regime however, there was more public outrage over the group's destruction of Buddhist statues than over their harsh treatment of women, said AU professor Catherine Warrick at a panel discussion Monday night.
