Abstract
The democratic revolutions in Eastern Europe were united in what they were opposing, but contained diverse visions of organizational futures. Whilst their leaders claimed to be rejoining the path of western modernity, a view echoed in Habermas's notion of the `rectifying revolutions', past communist experience structures the shape of emergent organizational forms. The transformation encounters problems of the scale of privatization and of creating capitalism by democratic design, whilst social costs are accumulating. The state, weakly embedded in society, confronts a legacy of ambiguous property relations in which the former nomenklatura, workers' collectives and other stakeholders struggle for control of the transformation. The fate of democratization and the shape of the new organizational modernity will depend on the outcomes of these conflicts.
