Sažetak
This contribution to the European Journal of Intercultural Studies examines the transitions that ere taking place in the post-Communist states of Central and Eastern Europe. For the most part we can see that initial enthusiasm and high expectations regarding quality of life have given way to disappointment. The limited gains of the recent past have been due to the lack of following a realistic and well-managed route of democratization.Democratic knowledge and routines are only slowly taking hold. It appears now that it might take anywhere from 10 years to an entire generation before the social system can change significantly enough to adapt the norms and values needed to change society. One of the problems is that many affairs are much worse presently than they were during the Communist era. The educational system will have to play an important role in this transition, and in coming to terms with a new (international) reality. What these new democratic states need is a qualitatively better political, economic, social and education system.
