When communism fell in 1989, the question for most Eastern European
countries was not whether to go to a market economy, but how to get
there. Several years later, the difficult process of privatization and
restructuring continues to concern the countries of the region. The
Transition in Eastern Europe, Volumes 1 and 2 is an analysis of the
experiences of various countries making the transition to market
economies and examines the most important challenges still in store.
Volume 1, Country Studies, gives an in-depth, country-by-country
analysis of various reform experiences, including historical
backgrounds and discussions of policies and results to date. The
countries analyzed are Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, eastern
Germany, Slovenia, and Russia. Written by leading economists, some of
whom helped shape local and national reforms, this volume identifies
common progress, common difficulties, and tentative solutions to the
problems of economic transition. Volume 2, Restructuring, focuses on
specific issues of transition, including how to design labor market
institutions, privatization, new fiscal structures, and bankruptcy
laws; how to reorganize foreign trade; and how to promote foreign
direct investment. The articles, written by experts in the field, will
be of direct help to those involved in the transition process. These
volumes provide a standard reference on economic transition in the
region for policymakers in Eastern Europe and in western countries,
for international agencies concerned with the transition process, and
for anyone interested in learning about the dramatic changes that have
recently occurred in Eastern Europe.
