The impact of new social
movements is hardly discussed in European post-communist context. Strands of
social contention such as the feminist and the environmentalist ones sprung in
western democracies in the late 60s and 70s and they became the object of much
research using approaches as diverse as organizational theory , deliberative
theory, public policy, political science, or social movements theory. What is
to be said about women’s and environmental movements in the Central and Eastern
European transitional societies? To what extent and through what means have
such groups succeeded in pushing their interests on the public and institutional
agendas in their countries? What are, and to what we owe the differences
between their mobilization capacity, visibility and their success/or failure in
different national contexts sharing this similar trait of having a
post-communist past?
