Economic Change in the Balkan States : Albania, Bulgaria, Romania and Yugoslavia
- 1991. - 1st Edition
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This volume contains two papers, one by a Western scholar and one by a local scholar, on the continuing economic crisis, the reform efforts to date, and the prognosis for the future in each country. There is a rare English description by a Romanian scholar of economic conditions under Ceausescu and the first frank assessment of economic policy by an Albanian economist ever to appear in the west. The book also includes a comparison of events in the region with those in East Central Europe, where the prerequisites for transition to market economies and democratic politics seem closer to fulfilment. There is virtual unanimity among all authors - East and West - on the market economy as the only appropriate goal for the countries in question.

Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- Economists have moved in recent years beyond analyzing the manner in which the macroeconomies of different countries function and prescribing appropriate policies for dealing with domestic and external imbalances. Increasingly, they have sought to understand the complex interaction between political and economic phenomena. This book considers issues of economic reform in a broad range of settings: * developed countries * transition countries * developing countries Using country specific cases such as Uzbekistan, Burma and Haiti, it focuses on those territories which have encountered problems reforming, allowing the reader to gain an accurate understanding of the factors that inhibit the success of economic reform, the different context in which economic reform is attempted, and the different challenges that individual countries face. An international team of contributors including Bo Södersten, Deepak Lal and Ron Findlay have been brought together to analyze these topical issues, making this an informative and thought-provoking book, of interest to those involved in the field of development studies.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter describes the reform environment in Bulgaria - focusing on macroeconomic stabilization and structural reform -so as to set the stage for the regional analysis that follows. It explores a short description of Bulgaria’s various territorial subdivisions since the country’s reemergence from the Ottoman Empire in 1878. The chapter presents data on, and various generalized entropy indexes of, regional inequality in an attempt simultaneously to obtain an overview of the regional dispersion of the economic transformation process and to evaluate the country’s territorial subdivision. Bulgaria’s system of territorial administration has gone through a series of major changes since the country’s independence in 1878. Bulgarian economic geographers have argued in favor of a territorial subdivision of the country something like that which prevailed when communism fell in 1989. The chapter examines Bulgarian regional disparities with respect to important variables characterizing the transformation of the economy from a centrally planned to a market basis.
