In the last three decades since the fall of the Berlin Wall, there has been a vast amount of study looking at transforming the planned economy to a market economy from both theoretical and empirical aspects. This book provides an overview and insight into transition economies in the recent decades and looks at key economics topics from the so-called “transition strategy debate” to environmental reform.

The book also includes an analytical review and meta-analysis of the existing literature. By integrating theoretical discussions and synthesizing empirical findings in a systematic manner, this book may help to enlighten the debate on the timing, speed, and policy sequence of economic transition.

The book will particularly appeal to researchers, policy makers, other practitioners, and under- and post-graduate students who are interested in transition economies in Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union, Southeast Asia, and China. It aims to be read as an advanced reader.

This book provides a comparative perspective of various areas of corporate management in two post-socialist regions: China and Eastern Europe.

The book employs original firm-level empirical analyses and meta-analyses of the extant literature to investigate the impacts of corporate ownership on firm performance and organizational behavior; internal organization through the lens of the corporate board; and the interrelationship between firms and gender, labor relations, and society. In comparing China and Eastern Europe, the book addresses whether corporate governance structures have evolved due to global pressures from competition and technological progress or if inter-regional differences reflect how firms were privatized or handed over to managers after the end of central planning.

This book will appeal to researchers and post-graduate students interested in comparative economics, economic system transition, and comparative corporate systems.

This volume explores a wide range of case studies, analyses, histories, and polemics on the fate of post-socialist Europe- and why that matters to readers today. Nearly 30 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the post-socialist economies of the former East remain adrift, buffeted by the international financial crisis, the Ukraine crisis, and the ongoing instability in the European Union. This new book brings together a diverse range of scholars in offering a comprehensive look at the struggles faced by policymakers, economists and business people across the former East, and the ways that they responded to crisis. This volume also will be of great value to policymakers, academics, historians, and economists seeking to understand possible influence of China''s One Belt One Road policy on Eastern Europe and Russia.
