Nations in Transit - 1998: Civil Society, Democracy and Markets in East Central Europe and Newly Independent States

Nations in Transit #1998

by Alexander Motyl (editor), Alexander J. Motyl (Editor), Charles Graybow (Editor)

In a pellucid resource volume, Nations in Transit-1998 , leading regional specialists and Freedom House experts respond to a checklist of 46 indicators for twenty-five countries in seven key political process, civil society, independent media, rule of law, governance and public administration, privatization, and economic reform. The survey, organized in an easily accessible question and answer format, was reviewed by an oversight board of leading scholars from Johns Hopkins, Princeton, and Columbia universities. The results are incisive, authoritative, and comprehensive country-by-country reports which assess the progress of ex-Communist nations in ridding themselves of repressive political systems and inefficient statist economies.
