Intergenerational differences in political values and attitudes in stable and new democracies

The examination of the intergenerational differences in two groups of democratic countries (traditional democratic countries and countries that began to establish democratic systems a little more than 10 years ago, when communist systems were overthrown in Central and Eastern Europe) shows growing similarities in attitudes and behaviors among young generations. The process is a consequence of cultural and economic globalization that encourages processes of change and adaptation in the new democracies.
