Twelve contributions assess transition problems and look for an understanding of how to proceed. The prospects for economic and political relations between Eastern Europe and the European Union, the World Trade Organization, and the international community as a whole are discussed, as well as trends in global and regional development strategies, government policies, privatization, foreign investment, and external balances. Some of the chapters were presented at the IV annual Meeting of the European Association of Comparative Economic Studies in Grenoble, France, September 1996; but the editor has compiled an integrated and coherent book rather than a loose conference proceedings.
