In this collection of essays David A Dyker explores some of the most
difficult and fascinating aspects of the process of transition from
autocratic "real socialism" to a capitalism that is sometimes
democratic, sometimes authoritarian. The stress is on the economic
dimension of transformation, but the author sets the economic drama
firmly within a political economy framework and a historical
perspective. Trends in key economic variables are analysed against the
background of the struggle between different social and political
groups for power and command over resources. While the book pays due
attention to topical issues like EU enlargement, the underlying
perspective is a long-term one. Transition is viewed not as a set of
once-and-for-all institutional changes or a process of short-term
stabilisation, but as a historic opportunity to solve the inherited
problem of poverty and underdevelopment in Central-East Europe and the
former Soviet Union. The book ends with a critical assessment of how
economics, as a discipline, has coped with the challenge of that
historic opportunity.
