Internationalisation: An Issue Neglected in the Path-Dependency Approach to Post-Communist Transformation

  • Chapter
Democratic and Capitalist Transitions in Eastern Europe

Part of the book series: The GeoJournal Library ((GEJL,volume 55))

Abstract

With this essay I wish to join the debate on the future of capitalism after communism. In assessing the contribution of institutionalist approaches to our understanding of post-communist transformation, I shall criticise them mainly for the insufficient attention they pay to the question of how global economic integration is shaping both the restructuring of the Eastern European political economies and their futures.
