Abstract
In the first decade after the fall of the Berlin Wall, mass political behaviour in Europe's eastern half exhibited several discomfiting characteristics. Low turnouts have plagued many electoral contests in Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic, referendums in Lithuania and other public votes.1 In other countries, the number of people who say they intend to cast ballots in future elections dropped, reflecting a widespread difficulty with voter turnout.2KeywordsCivil SocietyIncome InequalityVoter TurnoutPolitical BehaviourCommunist RegimeThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
