Summary
There is no doubt that systematic and transdisciplinary research into the rela¬
tion between civic and political society and democracy is required at the European,
international and national levels. The Centre of Excellence of
SAS
for Research on
Citizenship and Participation (COPART) has contributed greatly by surveying the
current state of Slovak civil society
-
the research capacity of
SAS
was significantly
enhanced with the addition of specialists from the Philosophy Faculty at Comenius
University in Bratislava and, particularly, from the third sector. This collaboration
created a strong synergy. We are now in a position to present some of the findings
that represent the collaborative work of these specialists, who have succeeded in
transcending the boundaries of the domestic disciplines (philosophy, sociology,
psychology and law) and who, paradoxically, in the end, worked together extremely
closely in exchanging critical views on their writing.
In order to make the text more accessible, I have attempted to mark out the
conceptual frameworks of the individual chapters and their contexts as we try to
gain a deeper understanding of the phenomenon of democracy and civic participa¬
tion.
The Layout of the Book
The book is composed of a theoretical section, in which the basic concepts
and context of civil society and participation are clarified, and an empirical section,
which contains an analysis of the data gathered in the research into citizenship and
participation, supported by
SAS
through the Centre of Excellence for Research
on Citizenship and Participation, and the case studies, which were partly funded
from other sources. This delineation is not strict in the sense that the authors of the
empirical chapters also help elucidate the theoretical framework, the usefulness of
which is borne out in interpreting the empirical findings.

Summary
Part One
-
Theoretical Frameworks for Citizenship, Participation
and Deliberation
The introductory chapter by
Emil Višňovský,
Civic Participation as a Problem
of Culture, begins from the premise that separating the civic and political spheres is
rather artificial and hard to justify on the grounds that both form part of culture like
a specific text on cultural practices and ways of thinking.
Emil Višňovský,
however,
permits them a certain degree of autonomy when he agrees with Dahrendorf
s
pro¬
position that civil society represents the third pillar in a modern democratic socie¬
ty, existing alongside the democratic state and market economy. The author does
not reduce civil society to simply being a sector of civic organisations and associati¬
ons, although he does consider them to be significant actors in civil society. On the
other hand, he points out that established organisations of the third sector have not
exhausted the whole spectrum of questions that stand between the public and pri¬
vate spheres. These uncovered areas mostly affect the subjective status of citizens
in contemporary society (the meaning of citizenship in individual lives; the actual
opportunities available for citizens to realise their civic rights and express their opi¬
nions; the position citizens hold in relation to the state and administration) and re¬
lationships between citizens (trust, reverence, respect, horizontal communication
and cooperation).
Višňovský
therefore focuses on questions such as: What kind of
civic culture do we have in our country? What is the civic atmosphere like? On
what kind of level does active citizenship exist? All these, the author believes, ma¬
nifest themselves in terms of the shape and quality of civic participation ; that is, in
the effective and responsible participation of citizens in solving common problems
and the problems of their own state, instead of passive reliance on political autho¬
rity. The author concerns himself with ideas about the division of responsibility
between the state and the civic sphere; hence, which aspects of public life the state
and its institutions are responsible for and which aspects the citizens themselves
are responsible for.
The second chapter by Martin
Bútora,
Civil Society in Slovakia: Contexts,
Problems ana Challenges, considers the issues and concerns raised earlier and ad¬
dresses them in terms of the specific experiences of Czech/Slovak and Slovak civil
societies, focusing in particular on the struggle for human rights and democracy.
His chapter highlights the issue of the moral integrity of civic actors who played an
immensely important role in the political transition and whose role is no less im¬
portant, even if less appreciated, in maintaining an independent civil society today.
The author does not simply regard civic rights as an anthropological code signalling
586
English
Summary
a desire for freedom, but also as a moral imperative that democratic political society
must heed. Moreover, as Martin
Bútora
illustrates, using the example of the life of
Ján Patočka,
Czech philosopher and first spokesperson of
Charta
77
(Charter
77),
the need to look after public affairs is inescapably part of the obligations we have to¬
wards ourselves, to our souls . This moral dimension of Charter
77
has become part
of world history and the activities of its members are a yardstick for our own civic
courage (or lack thereof). For Martin
Bútora,
civil society s mission is to create a
social arena which is able to stand up to injustice and wrongdoing, to safeguard the
independent thinking and actions that are so necessary in rectifying and critically
considering each political power. This mission is all the more significant given that
the current political society does not represent the wider and clearly differentiated
interests of the citizens, but represents above all its own narrow specific interests.
The third chapter, by Gabriel
Bianchi
and
Karolína Mikova
on Deliberative
Democracy and the Supranational Context, introduces the concept of deliberative
democracy with the aim of establishing the four key characteristics of deliberative-
ness. The authors pay particular attention to the very different levels of the appli¬
cation of deliberative (justifiable) democracy
-
from the dyadic to the global. An
extensive part of the chapter is dedicated to a discussion on alternatives to current
interpretations of deliberative democracy, to the relationship between deliberative
and participative civil society, and to the issue of whether deliberation is an aim,
a tool or a frame of reference bound to the political sphere.
Part Two
-
Civic and Political Society: Freedom and
Responsibility?
In the fourth chapter, based on the research study COPART/
IVO
(2009)
Slovakia on the Threshold of the Third Decade of Freedom: the Outline of a Partici¬
pation Paradox,
Zora Bútorová
and
Oľga Gyárfášová
ask what it is that represents
the greatest obstacle to developing civic participation, given that participation is
lower in all post-communist countries, including Slovakia, than in the established
democracies. From this perspective, they analyse the way citizens perceive current
issues in politics and democracy in Slovakia. They look at what kind of normative
ideas are shared about the relationship between citizens and politicians and consi¬
der what kind of interest they display in political events, which areas are more suc¬
cessful in terms of active citizenship, what the opinion and value profile of the more
active citizens is, what ideas they hold on the development of society and what
their normative ideals are. They also test out their ideas on the relationship between
587
English
Summary
civic activity and membership in a variety of civic organisations and analyse voter
participation in terms of different kinds of elections and from the perspective of
demographic indicators. The fact that the authors analyse the quality of democracy
and civic participation in the Slovak Republic within a fourteen-year time-period
enables them to compare data from COPART with both earlier and later research
and consider what the developmental trends might be in Slovak civil society. This
also means that they are able to explain some rather paradoxical findings.
The fifth chapter by
Jana
Plichtová,
Importance of Political Freedom and Equa¬
lity: Deliberative Potential of Slovak Citizens, deals with an analysis of the values and
beliefs of citizens, which lend meaning to participative and deliberative activities. A
separate analysis stemming from cultural capital and socio-economic variables pro¬
vides an answer to the question of how citizens view the value of political freedom,
equality and participation. In contrast to the research cited, it shows that even citi¬
zens with the lowest incomes and the lowest social status hold respect for the ideal
that citizens participate in public affairs. Where they differ is in the fact that they
have lower resistance to the alternative discourses which consider civic activities to
be unnecessary, inappropriate and unproductive and which leave all responsibility
for administering public affairs to the state. A surprising discovery is that cultural
capital and political illiteracy differentiate to a greater extent citizen s opinions on
participation and on the significance of political freedom and equality.
Miroslav
Popper, in the sixth chapter, The Impact of Moral Intuitions on Deci¬
sions Concerning Relations between Citizen and State, asks which normative ideas on
the relationship between the state and the rights of the individual are recognised by
citizens of the Slovak Republic. As is well-known, these relations were significantly
deformed under real socialism and the powers of the state interfered in all spheres
of life. It was totalitarian in the sense that the state completely controlled civil so¬
ciety and its activities, while at the same time it banned, under threat of sanction,
all the activities it considered to be ideologically and politically hostile. The author
establishes whether and to what extent the citizens have been emancipated from
the totalitarian power of the state by giving respondents the choice of two alter¬
natives
—
between a state which offers maximum protection to its citizens and a
state which interferes minimally in the lives of its citizens; between the principle of
the inviolability of private property and the possible confiscation of private proper¬
ty in the public interest; between maximising the economic profit of investment
and moderating it to protect the environment; between a flat-rate tax for all and
progressive taxation for the wealthier; between the right to abortion or a total ban;
between the right to euthanasia or a ban on euthanasia; between the right to use
extra-legal means in pursuing one s own legitimate rights and civil obedience. In
588
English
Summary
his statistical analysis, the author reveals, on the one hand, the systemic relations
between the individual polarised discourses, and on the other, the way in which
respondents preferences depend on demographic characteristics and voting pre¬
ferences, which he interprets from the viewpoint of the social norms which have
developed in the cultural evolution of man.
The seventh chapter, The Potential Offered by the Critical Discourse Analysis
of Media Texts in the Human Rights Context, by
Šarlota
Puíflerová,
Alena
Kotvano-
vá
and
Jana Plichtová,
introduces the theme of the responsibility the media has in
upholding the ideal of equality, in promoting equality in human rights and dignity.
The authors show the complexity of the social situation in which the media operate,
including the economic pressures the media face in fulfilling their duties regarding
entertainment and the consumer. They also discuss the idea that, for a variety of
reasons, equality is far harder to achieve than freedom. Although we all intuitively
respect the value that all citizens are equal, we find it difficult to agree on what that
might mean. Coming at it from a liberal perspective, the authors emphasise that
all forms of discrimination are linked to certain practices in writing and speaking
about citizens who are different, which justifies and maintains the unequal way in
which we deal with citizens who are different. In the second part of the chapter, the
authors focus their attention on methods of analysing (media) texts which allows
them to reveal the ways in which journalists present information, or more precisely,
present versions of the news, and how they perpetuate the discriminatory discour¬
se, which at first glance appears to be a faithful account of the actual events.
The eighth chapter, Discrimination: Analysis of Slovak Media Texts, by
Ka¬
tarína Iľanovská
and
Šarlota
Puíflerová
brings us the results of an empirical analysis
of
29 208
media texts, collected between
1
January and
31
December
2009.
The
analysis focused on how balanced the information sources were, on the status of
the source of the information, on the use of language, on the reproduction of nega¬
tive stereotypes, and on the presence/absence of a normative context. The authors
identified typical examples of writing on the issue of discrimination, whether from
the perspective of race, ethnicity, nationality or age and gender. News reports on
discrimination and intolerance generally lack a normative context and completely
fail to refer to discrimination as a structural problem affecting the whole of society.
The language used by journalists did not differ from that used by the general popu¬
lation and contained negative connotations and disrespectful characterisations of
groups of people considered different (for instance, the disabled , prostitutes , the
blind , wheelchair users and so forth), eliciting prejudice and stereotype. These
and other findings may serve as a starting point for further critical analysis which
proposes and tests alternative ways of writing that could replace current practice.

Summary
The ninth chapter, Social Partnership as a Tool of Participation, Cooperation
and Consensus, by
Monika
Čambalíková,
is the only one to expand the area of re¬
search to include the economic sphere with her survey of democratic values and
the creation of stable social conditions that respect a person s dignity. The author
considers social partnerships to be a specific democratic institution and at the same
time a strategy that encourages social partners to participate in decision-making,
cooperation and consensus building from the level of business to that of society
as a whole.
Čambalíková
researches the way in which this institution is developing
within the context of globalisation and integration, and at the same time, studies
the results of these processes particularly in the spheres of social work, business
and civic participation. She refers to the new challenges and opportunities that
await social partners and to the possible changes undergoing social partnerships in
the new world economy.

Transformative Pedagogy: How citizens are
produced
The tenth chapter, Models of Civic Education and their Role in Shaping an Active
Democratic Citizenship, by
Oľga Zápotočná
and Ivan
Lukšík,
introduces the theme
of the relationship between education and democratic civil society in both general
and specific terms. In terms of the different approaches and models of civic educa¬
tion in schools and using theoretical and empirical arguments, the authors survey
the opportunities and tools available for use in educational institutions that enable
them to participate in educating an active democratic citizenry. They pay particular
attention to the concept of civic education as a means of developing civic literacy,
to the analysis of school documents on civic education in the Slovak Republic and
to the changes they have undergone in the last two decades. Their analytical per¬
spective is relevant to debates on how schools today shape the civic attitudes of
pupils and students and how they view and fulfil this role. The finding that respon¬
dents attribute a minimal civic formative influence to formal education in schools
compared to other formal and informal institutions (friends, interest groups, the
family) raised a series of questions that the authors attempted to answer through
related research on Grade
8
students which was designed to assess the civic-edu¬
cative function of their schools. The significant differences between the individual
schools led the authors to wonder what the typical traits might be of a school that
encouraged civic activities.
In the eleventh chapter, School Culture and Civic Participation, the authors of
590
English
Summary
the preceding study discuss the findings of a survey into the cultures of two con¬
trasting kinds of schools, in which pupils either expressed great interest or very litt¬
le interest in public affairs. The analysis indicates that in schools with a significantly
higher percentage of active pupils a greater emphasis was placed on democratic
values, which was manifest not only directly in the content of the education but
also in the management and organisational activities of the school.
In the twelfth chapter, Philosophical Discussion as a Method for Developing Cri¬
tical Thinking,
Blanka
Šulavíková
presents one of the methods which helps develops
both critical and logical thinking and the moral competence to consider the good
of society. In addition, this dialogic method cultivates respect for a plurality of opi¬
nions and ideas. In the empirical section of the chapter, she discusses the findings
of research which indicate that students of secondary schools and universities are
interested in taking part in philosophical discussions, even outside their school du¬
ties, which suggests this might be insufficiently dealt with in schools.
The thirteenth chapter by Lucia
Trézová
and
Jana Plichtová
on Discussion as
a Tool for Clarifying Differences in Opinions: a Slovak
-
English Comparison analyzes
a discussion that takes place in small groups on the basis of the pragmatic-dialec¬
tical model of the ideal discussion. Differences were found between the individual
groups in terms of the level of cooperativeness and dialogicality. The quality of the
exchange of arguments, the complexity of outlook and the normative context also
differed. While in the Slovak dilemmas, normativity was informed by the Christian
concepts of cleanliness and sin, the English ones were underpinned by the concepts
of individual rights and equal treatment. The analysis indicated that the Slovak stu¬
dents were significantly less able to carry out a reasoned discussion and cooperative
dialogue. The authors suggested that this was a consequence of the absence of de¬
liberation and team work in Slovak educational establishments. These methods are
not used in the active pursuit of knowledge and experience.
In the fourteenth chapter, Service-Learning and Participatory Action Rese¬
arch,
Andrej Findor
presents an overview of the innovations that could be used
in transforming the face of our universities. On the one hand, he explores the spe¬
cific approaches which are guiding the transformation of bureaucratic academic
institutions from places of learning that implicitly support the subordination and
unequal distribution of responsibilities into dynamic laboratories of civic equali¬
ty and responsibility, while on the other hand, he describes his own attempts as a
university lecturer to work with students and reduce the asymmetry of power and
combine education with community work in the field. His aim is to strengthen the
community of students and engender the motivation to participate in transforming
the educational courses and themselves.

English Summary
Part Four: Public Involvement in Political Decision-Making
This part begins with a chapter on Invited Participation: Comparison of Three
Pan-European Deliberative Forums by
Karolína Mikova
and Gabriel
Bianchi,
which
is based on their own unique personal experiences with the first European delibe¬
rative forum. The reader is presented with an erudite reflection on the communica¬
tion processes taking place in these institutionalised fora, from
( 1 )
the perspective
of the quality of the deliberative process (for example the reasoning behind the
proposals, the appropriacy of the arguments);
(2)
from the perspective of the qua¬
lity of the outcome of the deliberations (political relevance, inclusion of a plurality
of opinion) and from the perspective of civic participation, in the sense of the mo¬
tivational effect the deliberation has on participation in solving public problems in
the future, and the effect the deliberation has on citizens identifying with the
EU.
The authors employ data from three sources: (l) participant observation;
(2)
an
analysis of texts (project materials, reports and evaluation reports); and
(З)
an as¬
sessment of objectives achieved by the individual deliberative programmes. Thus,
the analysis takes place on many different levels. In terms of the civic effectiveness
of the deliberations, they observe any changes occurring in the motivation levels
in those taking part. In terms of preparation and planning for the deliberative fora,
they compare the selection and motivation of participants in addition to the pro¬
cedure-setting of the discussion and the ways in which it is made easier and more
stimulating. Participants were selected in such a way that a variety of socio-eco¬
nomic characteristics and plurality of initial opinions were represented; the result
being a mini-public or a public in miniature.
In the sixteenth chapter, Opportunities for and Limits to Public Involvement
in Environmental Decision-Making: The High Tatras National Park,
Jana Klocoková
uses an account
ornature
conservation in the
Tatra
National Park to illustrate the
social model of thinking that narrows down to a circle of experts those that are
selected to participate in deliberations and negotiations. She carefully analyses the
reasons that determine who can legitimately enter into deliberation on the conser¬
vation of the natural areas in the reserves and establishes why that is the case. At the
same time, she focuses specifically on the question of what it is that is preventing
the lay public from being invited to deliberate and negotiate. In the second half
of the chapter, the author explains the theoretical and methodological framework
that lies behind the methods of analysing and qualifying the diverse connections
linking people to the environment. In other words, the author seeks answers to the
following question: which conceptual frameworks do we have at our disposal when
592
English
Summary
we wish to explain why certain citizens are offended by the public and why their
interests should be respected. In the third section, the author analyses the way in
which traditional and innovative approaches were used in managing the conflicts of
interest that arose over the conservation of the
Tatra
National Park. In conclusion,
she compares the sources of legitimacy and the models of public good most com¬
monly used by those involved in solving differences of opinion.
Ivan
Lukšík,
in the seventeenth chapter, Obstacles on the Road to Participative
Governance of Public Issues: the Pezinok Landfill Site, reconstructs and analyses the
story of the Pezinok landfill site, which is an exemplary case of the benefits civic
activities can bring, appealing for the law to be respected when the political sphere
and state institutions break down and serve narrow party and economic interests.
By means of an analysis of the approach employed by the civic activists, the author
is able to state that responsibility is not distributed equally amongst all citizens in
the local community; rather, the main burden is shouldered by leaders and experts.
This account indicates that there is another aspect to our civic life and that is the
limited understanding of what citizens may do, what their constitutional rights are.
This account raises the question of why the Slovak public displays such high tole¬
rance in cases where politicians and state bureaucrats overstep the law.
Part Five: Community and Participation
In the eighteenth chapter, Some Forms of Participation in the Jewish Commu¬
nity Following the Holocaust, Peter Salner analyses the participation of the Jewish
community from a historical and political perspective. He illustrates how Jewish ci¬
vic associations from the period of the first Czechoslovak Republic found support
in the system of religious services which require there to be a minimum often adult
Jewish men present. At the end of the Second World War, when orthodox believers
attempted to revive the once lively civic associations, they discovered that those
who had survived the holocaust refused to define themselves in religious terms in
order not to stand out from citizens of other faiths. Fear of being different and of
reprisals had long-term consequences
-
there was no longer talk of Judaism, the
holocaust, Jewish identity, not only in public but also within many Jewish families.
Young people were therefore often unaware of their own origins. The author descri¬
bes the situation concerning the activities of Jewish associations after November
1989,
when the religious community expanded the range of its activities to include
cultural, social and educational activities. This account raises questions about the
role of religious associations in organising civic activities in general, on the one
593
English Summary-
hand and the relationship between associations and participation on the other. In
terms of the cultural environment, this raises the issue of whether and how reli¬
gious communities in Slovakia create a support network for the development of
civic activities. Moreover, it highlights the important role played by political condi¬
tions. If the political conditions are illiberal, minority groups
—
whether based on
different political persuasions or religions
—
will be unable to expand their activi¬
ties publicly and in accordance with their opinions. The reverse is also true. If the
political conditions are liberal, it helps minorities to express themselves as citizens
and to participate in promoting the common good of the minority group and also
the good of society as a whole.

and Barbara
Lášticová
in the nineteenth chapter, How
a Community is Created: Slovak Migrants in Ireland, conducted research into the
different forms of activities pursued by Slovak immigrants in Ireland within asso¬
ciations. They undertook field work in Dublin (in July
2009),
in the form of semi-
structured discussions with leaders of the community of Slovak immigrants, and
participant observations. They further supplemented this with an analysis of the
printed media (the magazine Slovak in Ireland) and the internet platform irsko.exil.
sk. They discovered that the activities of Slovak migrants are focused on members
of their own community on the one hand and reach out to the host community
on the other hand. This case study is unlike the preceding ones in that it highlights
citizens convening on a different basis: on the basis of nationality. The authors did
not establish whether Slovak citizens participated in any cosmopolitan organisati¬
ons
—
although this would seem likely where transnational migration is concerned.
The migrants saw themselves as Slovak nationals and not cosmopolitan citizens of
the
EU.
Part Six: Instead of a Conclusion
The concluding chapter by Martin
Bútora,
Strengths and Weaknesses of the
Non-Governmental Sector in Slovakia: A Critical Perspective, reviews and documents
the strengths and weaknesses of one of the pillars of civil society. In doing so it
considers this sector in terms of the quantity of associations, but also from the per¬
spectives of formulating the ideals of a good society and cultivating a public sphe¬
re as a discussion forum for clarifying differing opinions. The first Czechoslovak
Republic, notes Martin
Bútora,
may have been a golden age of associations , but at
the same time the majority of these groups were founded along ethnic, religious or
ideological lines. It would seem that since democracy was relatively new, the nume-
594
English
Summary
rous associations had not learnt to live together and look for overlapping interests.
Even today there is no dialogue between citizens who hold different viewpoints.
The government apparatus shows little interest in establishing dialogue with ci¬
vic groups and the press have not created a platform for open public discussion.
Although, as the author suggests, correcting this imbalance is part of evolutionary
development, he does see a real need for a mini-revolution in specific areas of civil
society, particularly in education. He emphasises the importance of consolidating
a third sector which is dependent on a funding model that would enable it to be
independent and at the same time that would not limit its desire to participate in
creating the ideals of a well-founded society and policies that lead to the sought-
after state of society.
