Synopsis

Fourteen essayists, led by Sharma (economics, U. of Zagreb, Croatia), take readers across Central and Eastern Europe for a comparative lesson in the complex challenges ideological, institutional, socio- political, and economic faced by these countries in major transition in the global economy. Strong state involvement and a gradual approach to economic reform negatively correlate with success; successes on the macroeconomic level are not always matched by successful restructuring on the microeconomic level. Microeconomic issues warranting attention include: industrial restructuring and supply chain development, corporate governance, privatization, entrepreneurship, technological integration, banking reform, foreign direct investment, the role of environmental and regional development policies.
