In an era defined by economic and industrial competition rather than ideological warfare, the success of the privatization process in Central Europe, Russia, Ukraine, and the Baltics is crucial for the regions' political and economic survival. Recognizing the need for a universally accessible and systematically assembled source of information, the authors have collaborated with carefully selected teams of researchers located in the countries concerned to collect this data for the first time. The analysis of privatization in each country includes an introduction to the economic environment, an account of the legal framework of economic activity, the present forms of ownership, an overview of the privatization programs, and a discussion of the initial transformations of enterprises. This volume provide an authoritative account of the privatization process which is the cornerstone of the current economic transformation. Volume 1 analyzes privatization in Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, and Romania.

The Privatization Process in Russia, the Ukraine, and the Baltic States (CEU Privatization Reports)

The creation of new economic and legal mechanisms to replace the fallen communist systems of Eastern Europe must surely count as one of the greatest organizational challenges of this century, and economists and politicians alike are constantly grappling with the enormity of the transformation to be achieved. In this volume, the authors give an in depth explanation of their now widely adopted approach to 'privatizing privatization' and chart the evolution of their thinking, particularly in reaction to real events and prevailing conditions. Expanding on the theme of transferring ownership to the private sector through a system of free vouchers and independent intermediaries, Professors Frydman and Rapaczynski address the dangers of bureaucratization and the delicate balance between the evolutionary elements and imposed regulations that must be achieved to make the transition a success. The perfect companion volume to The Privatization Process in Central Europe, this collection of essays provides a brilliant explanation of the most widely accepted theory of privatization in Eastern Europe today.

Privatization in Eastern Europe: Is the State Withering Away? (Central European University Press Book)

In this, the second of three volumes to be published by the CEU Press on corporate governance in Central Europe and Russia, distinguished economists, legal scholars, political scientists and sociologists examine the emerging institutions of corporate governance in privatized firms in transition economies. They look at the nature of control exercised by insiders in Central and Eastern European firms and the emergence of indigenous corporate governance institutions. The volume also addresses the role of foreign investors and the many issues involved in the design of corporate and securities law. Each paper combines experience from advanced market economies with in-country empirical work in transition settings. Together these papers represent the most comprehensive and up-to-date comparative analysis yet undertaken of privatization struggles and their impact on corporate governance in Central Europe and Russia.

Capitalism with a Comrade's Face

Each of the essays in this collection dissects the upheaval in a particular institution in transition, such as central banking, the trade union movement, capital markets, or corporate governance. In a lively and accessible style, the authors bring out the links between what was and what will be in the social fabric of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. They expose the fragility of political and economic institutions that can easily threaten the region's rebirth, but they also believe that many post-Communist countries are successfully seizing the opportunity to become reunited with the West and the global economy.
