Social and Economic Transformation in East Central Europe by Terry Cox,Bob Mason Pdf
This book focuses not only on economic and political transformation since the demise of communism in Eastern and Central Europe, but also on the relationships between economic organization, social patterns and institutional change. The changes in political structure and policies of economic reform have in turn resulted in changes in social institutions and patterns of social relations. The authors look at social relations under the old regimes to understand the current social transformation. They consider economic restructuring both in the context of social change and in terms of its consequences for society, using case studies from the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland. The impact of economic changes on new forms of institutional arrangements, social patterns and organization are also discussed taking into account privatization, employment, social welfare, property and industrial relations. This new book will be welcomed by economists, political scientists and sociologists working in the area of transition.
Economic Transformation in Central Europe by Richard Portes Pdf
In this volume, the output of a joint project of the Commission of the European Communities and the Centre for Economic Policy Research, leading economists from the former CSFR, Hungary and Poland assess these countries' progress in economic transformation since the revolutions of 1989 and the prospects for their continued growth and integration into the world economy. They also evaluate the economic, social and political implications of the alternative policy proposals currently under discussion in these countries. In an overview chapter, two economists from the Community sum up the analysis of the individual countries, draw lessons from their experience, and set out specific policy guidelines. This book provides an up-to-date assessment of Central Europe's difficult but ultimately positive and rewarding process of economic transformation, in which the European Community has so great a stake. This should command the attention of both policy-makers and analysts.

Entrepreneurship and Economic Transition in Central Europe by Jean-Paul Larçon Pdf
Since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, Central European economies have been moving rapidly toward a common set of goals: political democracy, market-oriented economies and integration into the European and international business community. For businesses, Central Europe offers a unique window of opportunity and, in particular, two comparative advantages: a low-cost qualified workforce and stronger growth rates than mature Western European economies. This opportunity, seized by local entrepreneurs and foreign enterprises alike, is a significant competitive threat to companies not present in the region, or who have not found alternative strategies for increased growth and competitiveness. This book addresses economic transitions in Central Europe and analyzes the problems of Central European integration in the European Union.

Economic Transformations in East and Central Europe by David F. Good Pdf
In East and Central Europe, the euphoria of 1989 has given way to more sober reflections on the economic future of the region. In Economic Transformations in East and Central Europe the authors argue that the area's economic history over the last century or so uncovers the legacies that will shape its economic future. From this historical perspective they show that the current watershed is only the most recent in a series of dramatic turning points in the region's long-term economic development. They go on to discuss how this heritage can be used positively for building market economies and integrating the region into the world economy. The volume contains fifteen chapters including comparative analyses of seven individual countries. The book is an invaluable guide to understanding the current and future problems of this volatile region.
The Economic Transformation of Eastern Europe by Bernard S. Katz,Libby Rittenberg Pdf
This volume provides an up-to-date account of how the process of economic transition in Eastern Europe is unfolding from the point of view of Eastern European economists assessing their native economies. The authors have personally experienced the frustrations of the previous Stalinist system of central planning and public ownership, as well as the difficulties and pitfalls of designing new systems based on markets and private ownership. The book focuses on the three countries of Eastern Europe leading the reform efforts--Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and Poland--and points out similarities and differences in their reform strategies. Although the stories of economic change in Eastern Europe have dominated news headlines, the real challenges of designing and maintaining viable economies are just beginning. The analysis in this volume will be of interest to those in the academic and policy-making communities.
The Enlarged European Union by Peter Mair,Jan Zielonka Pdf
Focusing upon the emerging patterns of unity and diversity in the enlarged European Union, this study explores enlargement from the East and the impact this will have on the future identity of Europe.
East-Central Europe is about to bring its welfare reforms to the European Union. Nevertheless, in the course of the Accession, one could hardly fix the European standards of social policy or examine to what degree the newcomers may have approached them. Evidently, there has always been a variety of welfare regimes in the EU. Moreover, today's experts in post-communist countries do not find stable policies and institutional arrangements in the West but rather another reform process, the "domestication" of the classical welfare states. True, the general trends are not dissimilar: partial retrenchment, decentralization, marketisation and privatisation of public welfare services, as well as an upsurge of the voluntary sector, are the main characteristic features of regulating welfare on both sides of the former Iron Curtain. These issues are addressed by the contributors of this volume, leading representatives of their professions, in an unprecedented way. In avoiding the convenient cliche
