DESCRIPTION:
Essays pinpoint the unique aspects of each country's experience, the commonalties between the countries, and the diverse efforts to cope with changes. "There are many varieties of transition experience, and this volume covers them all. As a result, the book will be of value for both those looking for country-specific evaluations and for those seeking to understand the transition phenomenon--what has happened in the first decade and where it might be going."--Paul Wachtel, Research Professor of Economics, Stern School of Business, New York University "Of the dozen or so 'ten-years after' books, this is the one that will still be worth reading twenty years after. The country chapters are written by the very best experts on each of the economies."--Jacek Rostowski, Department of Economics, The Central European University
