Can Communist Economies Transform Incrementally?
How does China's approach to reform -- incrementally removing constraints on market behavior -- square with the opposing "big bang" thesis that partial reform is probably worse than no reform because it leaves economic agents constrained neither by plan nor by markets? Are there rational bases for these widely different approaches to fundamental economic change? If so, what is transferable from China?
The Enterprise Sector and Emergence of the Polish Fiscal Crisis, 1990-91
Increasing tax revenues from the enterprise sector alone will not solve Poland's budget crisis. As the state sector shrinks and the private sector grows, the tax net will get increasingly leaky. The budgetary problem could be ameliorated by controlling social security expenses and possibly by abolishing amortization deductions for state- owned enterprises.
The Road to War in Serbia
"The Road to War in Serbia is the first serious attempt by scholars from the former Yugoslavia to systematically explore the roots of the conflict and the ideology and propaganda that incited Serbian people to war. Based on years of research, the authors-all eminent scholars of their respective fields, who have lived through these social conflicts-highlight key issues which have date remained unknown or which have been previously neglected." "The issues dealt with include the institutional frameworks of ethnicity and nationalism; the input of the church, science, literature and sports; specific catalysts of the conflict, and the role of the political actors, students, the ruling party and the media." "The Road to War in Serbia will help to understand why and how the violent option of settling disputes and conflicts on the territory of Yugoslavia is being accepted."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
