This thesis explores whether and to what extent civil society within theframework of post-communist transition, provides a bulwark against the resurgenceof exclusivist nationalism, in four countries: Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary andRomania. In that respect minorities' and especially Roma's rights are extensivelyexamined. Related to these issues is to what extent the third sector has been able todevelop a democratic political culture among the populations of the respectivecountries.During the course of the research, the concept of political culture wasperceived relatively strong, considering the short period of post-communist transition.However, it is worth looking into whether civil society has managed to developattitudes consistent with what a democratic political culture demands.Non-governmental organisations have been selected as agents of civil society,capable of articulating the demands in the new post-communist era. Particularconsideration is given to the theoretical relation between civil society, nationalismand democracy both before and after the fall of communism. The same topics arebriefly presentedfo r eachc ountry individually.The empirical section examines three different methods of appraising NGOs:firstly NGOs are assessed according to basic criteria namely, founding members,financial resources, co-operation with local authorities etc. Secondly, their directimpact on legislation and institutional development is analysed. Thirdly, their impacton the development of a democratic political culture is examined. Finally, all factorsare evaluated and concluding comparative remarks are made
