This paper presents the state of civil society in Slovakia based on the analysis for the fourth comparative report of the European Union-Russia Civil Society Forum. Using standard research methods (desk research, structured interviews and focus group), the paper provides a brief civil society overview on history, statistics and funding. Further, it analyses legal and political conditions for civil society organisations facing the problems of the growth of far right populism. The interviews were conducted with the representatives of fifteen Slovak civil society organisations of various sizes (from local to national) and from various fields of activity (education, social services and inclusion, cultures, human rights, environment protection, social entrepreneurship, employment, social housing, healthcare). To verify results and findings from the interviews and formulate additional conclusions, a focus group with was seven experts was organised. Using these methods, the paper identifies the biggest challenges and possible solutions underpinning the current situation of civil society in Slovakia.

Over the past 30 years, civil society organisations (CSOs) in Romania have evolved both in quantitative and qualitative terms. Following the democratic transformation of the Romanian society, the role of CSOs has changed - from mainly being an active critic of the mistakes of the incipient democracy of the ’90s and of the human rights status quo, to becoming an advocator and convener of citizens’ and communities’ interests in participating and benefiting from democratic development. This article represents an overview of the development and transformation of Romanian CSOs in a post-communist society characterised by low trust, corruption, difficult development conditions and weak state capacity. Starting from recent research, we provide information regarding the size, dynamics and specific development trends and current challenges faced by Romanian CSOs.

The article’s aim is to analyse the role of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and their crucial ability of activeness under critical circumstances such as the transformation of a state. Starting in the 1990s, the studies were mainly focused on NGOs’ role as development actors in social and institutional formations. New research makes particular accents on their role in political and social discourses both in Georgia and Ukraine, which enriches the science with new empirical material related to the involvement of civil society organisations (CSOs) in the state progress and legislation processes. This article is an attempt to provide an argument for moving forward research on NGOs/CSOs within political science and international relations via comparing the institutional involvement of NGOs in two development-oriented countries – Georgia and Ukraine.
