Systemic Change in Post-communist Economies

Systemic Change in Post-communist Economies by Pg Hare

Early transition was characterised by debate over shock therapy and gradualism as alternative reform strategies. Other important debates concerned the nature of the former USSR. Was it ever socialist and what were its laws of motion? What implications does the old system have for the course of post communist reforms? These are among the key issues analysed in this book, through a mix of conceptual analysis and an interesting selection of country studies.

PAUL HARE has been Professor of Economics at Heriot-Watt University since 1985. During that period he was Head of the Economics Department for five years, the Director of the Centre for Economic Reform and Transformation from 1990-1997. Since summer 1997 he has been Head of the School of Management. Professor Hare has published extensively on the economies in transition, with recent works including a four volume edited collection of papers on transition, Transition to the Market Economy, a book on Structure and Financing of Higher Education in Russia, Ukraine and the EU, and articles in academic journals.
