This volume combines theories of economic liberalization with a wide variety of case studies from market and socialist economies. International scholars and Eastern European policymakers have collaborated to evaluate the dramatic economic changes taking place throughout the world. The opening essays contribute to the theoretical debate by showing that foreign economic liberalization goes beyond reducing import barriers to policies on investment financial liberalization, convertability, and export promotion. Case studies compare successful and unsuccessful liberalization attempts world-wide. The disintegration of the CMEA and the policy dilemmas facing Central and Eastern Europe are examined in great detail, as the authors explore the pitfalls and opportunities inherent in the transformation from a centrally planned economy.
