This book is the second in the series of four volumes, dedicated to countries in transition in Central and South Eastern Europe, which today are also members of the Central European Initiative (originally known as the Quadrangolare).
Promoted by the Italian government, the Central European Initiative has since its launching in 1989 expanded to include seventeen countries, in addition to Austria, Hungary, Italy, and former Yugoslavia as its founding members, a number of countries from the former communist world which, after the fall of the Wall of Berlin, decided to join this regional initiative.
The volume contains seventeen essays dedicated to the transition to a market economy in Central and South Eastern Europe, which are the product of research initiated in 1999 on different aspects of the post communist transition. The papers address some of the crucial problems of transition, the main lessons learned during the last twelve years, and the key challenges ahead.
Relying on knowledge and experts of the International Network Europe and the Balkans created in 1993 at the University of Bologna, this inter-disciplinary project involved more than fifty European and American scholars dealing with different aspects of transition, of which around a third were economists that contributed to the present volume. Economic aspects of the post-communist transition are analysed within three groups of topics: key issues of transition, the rich experience with economic reforms in individual countries members of the Central European Initiative, and international aspects linked to prospects of regional and EU integration.
