Economies in Transition

By Ian Jeffries Copyright 1996

    This volume provides an in-depth review of major economic developments in those economies which are in some stage of transition, following the collapse of communism in the Eastern block. The book is divided into four parts:
    * theoretical issues in the transition from command to market economies
    * the events in the fifteeen independent countries of the former Soviet Union
    * Eastern Europe
    * non-European states
    In all, the author chronicles events from 1993 to 1995 in thirty-five countries. Economic developments are set in their political context and presented chronologically as far as possible.
    A Guide to the Economies in Transition carries on where Ian Jeffries' previous book left off. The work is entirely new and, as such, can be seen as a companion to the earlier title. These books are becoming known as invaluable guides, providing unique levels of reference in work of this type.
