Description
The systematic transformation from planning and bureaucratic co-ordination to a liberal private capitalist economic order has been a historic challenge for Central and South-East European countries. It was inevitable that following the post-revolutionary euphoria there would be a period of gathering stock as the true dimensions of the crisis came to be appreciated. What is clear is that the road form crisis to capitalism will be long and bumpy and this book focuses on some of the key policy-relevant theoretical issues of strategic transformation. In doing this the contributors compare the situation in East Europe with non-European experience - particularly that of Latin America - and attempt to establish a basis for redesigning and consolidating the crisis-ridden Central and Eastern European States.
