Routledge - Globalization and the State in Central and Eastern Europe

Explore the deep changes in Central and Eastern European states through this scholarly study from Routledge. This book investigates how the end of communism and the move toward market-oriented reforms in the early 1990s reshaped the region. It looks closely at how globalization and economic liberalization affected political economies, societies, and state structures. By comparing national strategies in key countries like Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Slovakia, the text tracks the shift in economic policy. Readers will see how initial strategies focused on domestic investment sources evolved by the late 1990s. This work is essential for those studying the political economy of transition and the impact of foreign direct investment on emerging markets in Eastern Europe.
