The historical changes in Central and Eastern Europe demanded suitable
paths for the transition from centrally planned to market based economies.
The lack of relevant experience added to the challenge, giving rise to the
incalculable risks of implementing untested policies. By focusing on
monetary policy, trade, and convergence, this volume addresses some of the
most urgent economic policy issues in the transition economies of Central
and Eastern Europe and beyond.
