What has been happening in the last ten years in former communist Eastern Europe? Has the process of transition been completed successfully? What are the prospects for the future? In trying to give some of the answers to these questions the author has naturally given political developments a large place, in view of the post-1989 freedom to engage in political activity. But the economies, societies and cultures of the new Eastern Europe are by no means ignored. Indeed, one of the major features of this period in history has been the predominant role of economic issues in political debate. The comparative approach is combined with a detailed treatment of individual countries in alternating chapters.
