Varieties of Capitalism in Post-Communist Countries
This book sets the experiences of former communist countries as they head towards capitalism against the 'varieties of capitalism' paradigm, and provides a framework for comparing transformation processes, demonstrating how differing heritages of communist and pre-communist pasts are leading to different kinds of capitalist economies.
Parties, Trade Unions and Society in East-Central Europe
Originally published in 1994, this volume analyses the relationship between political parties and trade unions in Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Bulgaria. Political parties had high visibility in the changes that took place in Eastern Europe during the 1980s and early 1990s. Far less visible were the developments in the trade union sphere, where the old ‘mass organizations’ of the communist period, now independent, were joined by newly-formed organizations, and both played a central role in politics.
Transition Economies
Transition Economies provides students with an up-to-date and highly comprehensive analysis of the economic transformation in former communist countries of Eastern and Central Europe and countries of the former Soviet Union. With coverage extending from the end of central planning to the capitalist varieties of the present, this text provides a comparative analysis of economic transformation and political-economic diversity that has emerged as a direct result. It covers differences between countries in terms of economic performance and integration into the world economy. Transition Economies seeks to explain and deepen understanding of these differences, chart the emerging forms of capitalism there, and provide country responses to the world financial crisis of 2008-2009.
Transforming Socialist Economies
Transforming Socialist Economies presents an account of the initial attempts to transform the centrally planned economies of Czechoslovakia and Poland into modern capitalist economies.
Successful Transformations?
Contrasts the recent transitions from central planning to a free market economy in Eastern Germany and the Czech Republic, highlighting the different paths the two countries have taken and looking at whether the relative success of these two economies can point to a special policy regime which might aid economic transition in other former communist countries.

The Czechoslovak Economy 1948-1988
Dr Myant presents a detailed account of the development and performance of the Czech economy over a period of forty years, and reveals the problems and tensions created by the chosen system of centralised planning. Dr Myant's conclusion is that any economic reform will have little substance unless accompanied by appropriate political change.
Reinventing Poland
The end of communism and accession to the European Union have had a huge impact on Poland. This book provides an overall assessment of the post-1989 transformation in Poland, covering economic transformation; the heritage of the past and national identity; and regional and political developments before and after EU accession.
Industrial Competitiveness in East-Central Europe
This analysis of industrial competitiveness asks if the manufacturing industry in East-Central Europe will survive when the host countries join the EU. It challenges the assumption that such industries will have little difficulty in establishing/maintaining a competitive position after EU entry.
