Includes selected studies on transforming economic cultures in
Eastern Europe. Economists, historians, sociologists and
anthropologists of the region studied transnational cultural
encounters in the post-communist economies by scoping on smaller
and bigger firms in the new market conditions, governmental bodies
that shaped economic policies and regulations, and the academic
settings of economic science. Producers and mediators of economic
culture are examined in various contexts. Comparative studies are
offered in three areas: entrepreneurship, governance of economic
change, and economic knowledge. Case studies analyze country
specific issues.
The numbers and scope of encounters between the economic actors
of the "East" and the "West" which have dramatically increased
during the past two decades are scrutinized. Chapters in the volume
reveal how indigenous actors workers, entrepreneurs, government
officials, economists, think tank analysts etc. in Eastern Europe,
select (accept, adjust and mix) certain cultural packages while
rejecting others. Although cultural exchanges are rarely symmetric,
there is little to prove that "strong Western" culture devours
(civilizes) the "weak Eastern" one, or "clashes of civilizations"
drive capitalist transformations in the region.
