Latvia's Transition To A Market Economy: Political Determinants of Economic Reform Policy (Studies in Russian & Eastern European History) [Hardcover]

Book Description

ISBN-10: 031221989X | ISBN-13: 978-0312219895 | Publication Date: February 15, 1999

The postcommunist transitions to a market economy raised doubts about the political sustainability of an economic reform under democracy. At the same time, they turned the attention to the centrality of political factors in policy-making. Latvia has succeeded in proceeding into the consolidation phase of its market reforms while remaining committed to both political pluralism and macroeconomic austerity. Even if politics were not treated as a mere constraint, the basic question does not change: how are the government's adjustment choices in the political process?
