Scott Hacker and his colleagues - Borje Johansson and Charlie Karlsson. The fact that they do this in conjunction with historical and statistical data, which adds to the overall economic backdrop of this climate, only adds to the impressiveness of this collection.'</i>
- Joan M. Jackson, Business Information Alert,
Perhaps the most dramatic phenomenon to impact on Europe in the next two decades will be the economic integration of central and east European countries with the rest of Europe. Consequently, significant impacts should be seen in regional and international patterns of trade, demography, employment, and financial flows. The editors discuss the problems transitional economies will face and the strategies they may adopt in the context of the European economic integration process and these sectoral issues.
Bringing together novel research by those within the emerging market economies, this book will be of great interest to researchers and policymakers and planners in organizations dealing with economic integration and transitional economy issues.
