This book examines the transformation of the state in Central and
Eastern Europe since the end of communism and adoption of market
oriented reform in the early 1990s, exploring the impact of
globalization and economic liberalization on the region's states,
societies and political economy. It compares the different policies
and national strategies adopted by key Central and Eastern European
states, including the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary and Slovakia,
showing how initial internally oriented strategies of market
reform, privileging domestic sources of investment, had by the late
1990s given way to externally oriented strategies emphasising the
promotion of competitiveness by attracting foreign investment. It
explores the reasons behind this convergence, considering the
influence of internal and external forces, and the roles of
interests, institutions and ideas. It argues that
internationalization of the state is forged in the processes
through which domestic groups linked to transnational capital
attain domestic influence necessary to shape state policy and
strategy. These groups - the comprador service sector in particular
- constitute and organize political, social and institutional
support of the competition state in the region. Overall, this book
not only provides a detailed account of the political economy of
post-communist transformation in Central and Eastern Europe, but
also the processes by which states adapt to the forces of
globalization.
