Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Transformationsforschung: Stand, Probleme und Perspektiven

摘要

The transformation in Central and Eastern European states involves far-reaching restructuring of the economic, social and cultural life. There are differences between the individual countries in terms of the implementation of reforms, the practised policies and the evaluation of reforms. From an economic point of view, the system transformation in Central Eastern Europe consists of a macro-economic stabilisation, liberalisation, privatisation and institutionalisation. The various schools of economic philosophy view these stages differently. This article deals extensively with the approach of political economy that attributes the success of the transformation policies to the protagonists constellation and the balanced design of the reform policies. The role of the protagonists and institutional design are described using the example of the research results for privatisation and the reform of the national insurance systems.
