Industrial Restructuring and Trade

This book identifies differences and similarities between the formerly centrally planned economies of the Eastern Bloc and those of Western Europe. The authors use up-to-date information on East-West trade flows to analyze emerging patterns of industrial and trade specialization. They examine in detail the pre- and post-1989 experience of five different CEE economies: the ex-GDR, ex-CSFR, Hungary, Bulgaria and Poland. The book ends with an examination of the case for using Western-style industrial policies in the transition.
