Since the centralist regimes of Communist Europe collapsed, their new governments have been searching for ways to make the transition to decentralized market economies. In this volume, leading economists, from both East and West, explore and map the differing paths taken by individual countries, including the (former) Soviet Union, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and the now defunct GDR. Although the contributors agree the road to transformation will not be smooth, they express a variety of views on what they consider to be viable policies for marketization. The contributors analyze problems of privatization, marcroeconomic stabilization, new patterns of foreign trade, the evolution of new economic and social organizations and the sequencing of the different reform elements. They also consider the complex interrelationship between democratization, nationalism and economic reform.
