Summary:

"This publication examines life under communism in Czechoslovakia and Hungary with particular attention paid to education, religion, travel, and exposure to Western culture. It also examines the transition to democracy in these countries, and how successful that transition has been. A case is made that being politically socialized under communism has made embracing democratic principles more difficult. The main implications of this publication are how government type during political socialization affects support for democratic principles, and whether the United States could ever be at risk for democratic erosion"-- Provided by publisher.
