Privatization in Central and Eastern Europe: Perspectives and Approaches

June G. Hopps,Demetrius S. Iatridis

Central and Eastern European countries are facing the transition from central to market systems with different strategies and capacities. As the task of societal transformation is without precedent in world history, the massive economic restructuring has revealed the need for distributive justice and general well-being. As the editors and contributors to this volume point out, the monolithic preoccupation with economic restructuring in a market economics framework is implemented at the expense of social protection and security. In contrast to traditional views of privatization as only an economic or managerial phenomenon, this collection approaches privatization as a broader integrated process of societal transformation. Privatization as defined here consists of integrated processes of societal restructuring that affect sociopolitical, economic and ideological constructs as well as human and physical capital development, transformation of family structures, market stabilization and organization of social care. Public policymakers as well as scholars and researchers of contemporary Eastern Europe should find this collection of interest.
