Synopsis
Restructuring Eastern Europe brings together a distinguished group of scholars and experts who discuss the transition process in Eastern Europe at the microeconomic level.The restructuring and privatization of enterprises has not kept pace with the macroeconomic success that has been achieved in some formerly centrally planned countries. The contributors discuss the ideological, institutional, socio-political and financial problems resulting from the transition process. New insights into complex microeconomic issues such as the dispersion of foreign direct investment, privatization and company management, entrepreneurship and supply-chain development are also discussed. Special attention is paid to the roles of corporate governance, technological integration, the role of environmental and regional policies and the reform of the banking system.
This innovative book presents a comprehensive overview of the varying levels of success of the policies of different countries. It will prove invaluable to research scholars, postgraduate students and officials in government agencies concerned with restructuring the economies of Eastern Europe.

Booknews
Fourteen essayists, led by Sharma (economics, U. of Zagreb, Croatia), take readers across Central and Eastern Europe for a comparative lesson in the complex challenges<-->ideological, institutional, socio- political, and economic<-->faced by these countries in major transition in the global economy. Strong state involvement and a gradual approach to economic reform negatively correlate with success; successes on the macroeconomic level are not always matched by successful restructuring on the microeconomic level. Microeconomic issues warranting attention include: industrial restructuring and supply chain development, corporate governance, privatization, entrepreneurship, technological integration, banking reform, foreign direct investment, the role of environmental and regional development policies.
