The New Eastern Europe and the World Economy (Hardcover)

This collection of essays looks at the emerging Eastern economies in their global economic context. In the light of far-reaching changes which have taken place in Eastern Europe, the international contributors address four main themes: liberalizing foreign economic sectors through trade liberalization, currency convertability and greater access to markets for international capital; the disintegration of the trade payment, pricing and settlements systems based on the transferable rouble; active participation in the key organizations entrusted with international financial, monetary and trading regimes; strategies for using international economic assistance to alleviate the adjustment costs with ongoing transition policies.
