Term Paper: Eastern European Post-Communist Generation: Disconnected and Disaffected

Dawn Turek: What are the dynamics and implications of the Czech Republic’s post-communist generation, disconnected from previous generations and disaffected by the European Union?

This paper examines the dynamics and implications of the Czech Republic's post-communist generation, disconnected from previous generations and disaffected by the European Union. As the lingering threads of communist corruption persist in Prague and elsewhere throughout the country, will the post-communist generation pick up the democratic mantle that is being passed to them from those who participated in the 1989 Velvet Revolution?

Dawn K. Turek is an M.S. student in International Relations and International Law at New York University. She received her B.A. in French from Smith College.
