​While religion was expelled from the public space during Communist times and became a secret form of “inner emigration”, it entered the empty public space again in Post-Communist times. Public interest in religious issues and the public prestige of religion have dramatically increased. The book “Under Construction. The Role of Religion in Eastern Europe Today” deals with the (re-)emergence of religion in Eastern Europe and its impact on the economy, the society, and the state in 15 essays. The authors represent various fields of science related to human interaction – Economics, Political Science, Sociology, and Law. The added value is an up-to-date and interdisciplinary perspective on religion and its effects in major spheres of the societies in Eastern Europe today.

Exploring the dynamics of large-scale protests in post-socialist Eurasia, this book analyzes eight Color Revolutions to understand why some autocratic leaders fall while others remain in power. It delves into the factors contributing to the success or failure of these movements, providing insights into current political science discourse. The conclusion synthesizes the findings and identifies areas for further research, offering a comprehensive look at the complexities surrounding Color Revolutions and their implications for political change.
