This book uses a range of S&T and structural indicators to
analyse the transfonnation process, in particular the
transfonnation of science, technology and industry, in the fonner
communist countries. The book originates from a sense of the
tremendous need for quantitative indicators for assessing trends
and perfonnance in the post-socialist economies. S&T systems in
the region have passed through the first phase of rapid
deterioration, or as it is called by some analysts 'implosion'.
After ten years of transfonnation we are witnessing a process of
increasing differentiation of these countries in tenns of general
patterns of growth and structural change, as well as specific lines
of restructuring in their S&T systems. The question of sources
of growth - or indeed of stagnation - is an increasingly urgent
one, from both the policy and academic perspectives. In that
context there is a pressing need for in-depth assessment of
restructuring patterns in science, technology and industry in the
region, as a basis for understanding how restructuring in S&T
is linked to industrial restructuring, and to general economic and
social transfonnation. As the contributions to this volume show,
there is now a critical mass of quantitative data across the
post-socialist countries which deserves to be studied more
thoroughly in a comparative manner. The changes of the last ten
years have produced varying patterns of adjustment which are now
clearly visible in S&T and structural indicators.
