The idea for this book began in Sofia, Bulgaria in September, 1992
when we met to plot a course for our University Affiliations
project which had been recently funded by the U.S. Infonnation
Agency. We believed that worldng on the book would provide valuable
learning experiences for all the cooperators, and that the book
itself would make a useful contribution to understanding the
economic transition process and its policy implications. We
recognized that a project of this nature would require the skills
and knowledge of many people. To those 34 additional contributors
to this volume, and to the many other friends, colleagues, and
experts who gave generous advice, we give our sincerest thanks. We
also acknowledge with thanks the support of several organizations
to a reality. Much of the that transfonned this book from an idea
research reported here was a major part of an educational project
funded by the University Affiliations Program of the U.S.
Information Agency. The project linked the University of
California, Berkeley, Wye College of London University, and the
Research Institute of Agricultural Economics, Sofia, in a
cooperative effort to improve the quality of policy analysis. The
research provided hands-on experience necessary for effective
teaching in this area.
First published in 1997 in the wake of the fall of the Soviet Union
and its agricultural policies, these editors presented a series of
ten related articles on the transition to post-communist, more
privatised agricultural policies, each specialising in a specific
region of Central and Eastern Europe. Resulting from a research
network, this volume features a range of contributors, including
those preparing PhDs, former governmental advisors and specialists
in agricultural economics, food policy and statistics. The chapters
cover Albania, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Eastern Germany,
Hungary, Romania, Slovakia, Solvenia, and the Former Soviet Union,
along with a comparative analysis. The contributors focus on three
key issues of reform: the collection of detailed data, the
collection of information on factors influencing the progress and
completion of reform and explaining the results of privatisation
and land reform, with a particular emphasis on the first two
elements. This volume is well-suited to policy makers, analysists
and researchers.
