The book deals with the analysis of key political actors in the 'new democracies' from Central and Eastern Europe. It is focused on the character of elites - particularly political ones - and their role in the process of societal change. The argument is that elite configuration has strong impact on developmental dynamics of these societies.

How wide is the gap between the new democracies of Central and Eastern Europe and the most developed nations? How can it be narrowed? This text addresses these questions in a comprehensive way. It delves into the inter-relations between the major factors of developmental performance and looks at their effects on sustained societal development.
