This book takes stock of opinion polls in communist and post-communist states, presents specific case studies and answers the question how opinion polls under conditions of censorship and lack of media pluralism differ from those in liberal democratic societies.

Als Belgien, Polen und die Niederlande während des Zweiten Weltkrieges besetzt wurden, kollaborierten Teile der politischen Elite und der Bevölkerung mit den Besatzern. Wie mit diesen Kollaborateuren nach dem Krieg verfahren wurde, und welche Folgen dies für das politische System der Nachkriegszeit, für Demokratisierung und das Fortbestehen totalitärer Tendenzen hatte, untersucht der Autor aus anthropologischer und sozialwissenschaftlicher Per...

Mit geradezu revolutionärem Eifer ging sie daran, die bestehende Verfassungsordnung zu stürzen. Dieses Buch beschäftigt sich ausführlich mit den Ursachen und gesells...
