Eastern Europe at the Turn of the Twenty-first Century: A Guide to the Economies in Transition

Description

Following on from Jeffries' 2001 "Economies in Transition: A Guide to China, Cuba, Mongolia, North Korea and Vietnam at the Turn of the Twenty-First Century", this comprehensive survey of economic and political change focuses on the countries of Eastern Europe. The book examines Albania, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovakia. It analyzes major political and economic events in these countries from the mid-1990s to the present.

'Of the few authors sufficiently knowledgeable to write on all the thirty plus countries moving from central planning to the market, Ian Jeffries is outstanding.... ranging from front-rank EU candidates to barely-changed Cuba and North Korea, (this series) promises to be a 'must buy' for any university library.' - Professor Michael Kaser (Universities of Birmingham and Oxford)
