The (in)equalities in the post-communist societies and their impact on the consolidation of democracy is currently explored by a consortium of universities and reasearch institutes in the Sixth Framework Programme EUREQUAL project. I am researcher in the Romanian MRC team, partner in the EUREQUAL project.
