| Popis | This paper aims at exploration of individual participation in civil advocacy activities in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. It differentiates between two main competing explanations of civic participation - the institutional, and the cultural one. Building upon two surveys, paper shows that despite the different trajectories of institutional politics in both countries, the extent, forms and issues of civil advocacy participation on the individual level are strikingly similar. Consequently the cultural factors - as more enduring and resistant to changes in the short term - are identified as the key to understanding the shape and character of civil societies in two countries. |
