Description:
This volume addresses the difficult transformation of former Soviet-type societies into capitalist entities. From different scientific and ideological perspectives, the book is organized around four important themes. First the changing world order in relation to the constraints and possibilities offered by the external environment. How does Western advice fit in? Second the internal liberalization and democratization problematique affecting civil society whereby class differences emerge which have an impact on the legitimacy of emerging capitalist politics. Third the relevance of the East Asian model of 'command capitalism' for Eastern Europe and Russia. Finally, can lessons be drawn from the experience of East Asian market socialism?
