Overview

The iron curtain lifted in 1989 and more than twenty nations emerged from the isolation that had largely hidden them from the rest of the world for more than four decades. In each of these former Soviet states, remnants of tradition and economic organization have prevented them from stepping beyond the curtain and onto the world stage. Nonetheless, some have been extremely successful. In Agriculture in Transition: Land Policies and Evolving Farm Structures in Post-Soviet Countries, Zvi Lerman, Csaba Csaki, and Gershon Feder study the land policies and farming infrastructures of these newly emerging nations as components of institutional change in the rural sector - change from a centralized rural economy to a market-oriented economy. Their analysis of the policy, tradition, history, and social structure of these developing states pushes the discussion of ecnomic transition beyond questions of policy, planning, and implementation.
