Abstract
In the post-wall era of capitalist development the serious debate about political and economic alternatives seems to concentrate on two topics. The first is capitalist diversity. Is there a choice between different models of capitalism, for example the Rhenish and the Anglo-Saxon one (Albert/ Gonenc 1997)? Some leading politicians in the transition countries of Central and Eastern Europe, as for example Vaclav Klaus, the former prime Minister of the Czech Republic, seem to have believed that the choice for new democracies was indeed rather limited. We will argue here that it would be wrong to assume whatever the rhetoric was that the countries of Central and Eastern Europa have simply copied Western models. Their range of choices was broader. As a consequence the transition process has added important modifications to what is today regarded as the most advanced and successful model for the relation between state and society, namely the regulatory state.
