Abstract

ABSTRACT Political participation increased and diversified in the post-communist world in the last decade. This may create great expectations in terms of societal impact. This Special Section seeks to understand the complexity of this picture by analyzing instances in which the promises of political participation reach boundaries in post-communist countries. It aims to achieve two theoretical and empirical objectives. It outlines several theoretical frameworks that can be used to understand who participates and why they do so, and to identify and explain various ways in which individuals engage in politics, what are their reasons and with what expectations. The articles in this Special Section cover a range of post-communist countries in the form of comparative perspectives across countries with contextualized case studies (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Georgia and Hungary) and use both qualitative and quantitative analyses.

当承诺到达边界时:后共产主义国家的政治参与

在过去的十年里，后共产主义世界的政治参与增加了，而且多样化了。这可能会在社会影响方面产生很大的期望。本特别节试图通过分析后共产主义国家政治参与的承诺达到边界的实例来了解这一情况的复杂性。它旨在实现两个理论和实证目标。它概述了几个理论框架，可以用来理解谁参与和为什么他们这样做，并确定和解释个人参与政治的各种方式，他们的原因和期望是什么。本专区的文章涵盖了一系列后共产主义国家，以各国比较视角的形式进行了情境化的案例研究(波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那、保加利亚、格鲁吉亚和匈牙利)，并采用了定性和定量分析。

期刊介绍： European Societies, the flagship journal of the European Sociological Association, aims to promote and share sociological research related to Europe. As a generalist sociology journal, we welcome research from all areas of sociology. However, we have a specific focus on addressing the socio-economic and socio-political challenges faced by European societies, as well as exploring all aspects of European social life and socioculture. Our journal is committed to upholding ethical standards and academic independence. We conduct a rigorous and anonymous review process for all submitted manuscripts. This ensures the quality and integrity of the research we publish. European Societies encourages a plurality of perspectives within the sociology discipline. We embrace a wide range of sociological methods and theoretical approaches. Furthermore, we are open to articles that adopt a historical perspective and engage in comparative research involving Europe as a whole or specific European countries. We also appreciate comparative studies that include societies beyond Europe. In summary, European Societies is dedicated to promoting sociological research with a focus on European societies. We welcome diverse methodological and theoretical approaches, historical perspectives, and comparative studies involving Europe and other societies.
