Summary

This doctoral thesis is a multidisciplinary study of the political, social and cultural developments that determine the difference between Russia and the countries of Western Europe. The book offers a new intercultural perspective on the value and function of civil society in the system of democratic governance. Comparing experiences of democratic governance in the West and in Russia, the author addresses the challenges that underlie the interactions between government, business and civil society. The lack of public trust and the crisis of political and corporate legitimacy are the main problems of contemporary democracies. The study provides a complex picture of how Russian society, liberated from the restraints of the Soviet system, has been struggling for civility.
