Successful Transformations? contrasts the recent experience of
economic development in Eastern Germany and the Czech Republic. It
provides a comparative up-to-date account critically assessing the
transition from central planning to a free market economy. The book
highlights the very different paths that these two economies have
taken. Eastern Germany has been absorbed almost entirely into the
political and economic framework of West Germany. In contrast the
Czech Republic - which is widely acclaimed to have made the
speediest transition - has from the outset adopted an independent
line. The book illustrates the strengths and weaknesses of these
two different paths and addresses the key question as to whether
the relative success of these two economies can point to a special
policy regime which might aid economic transition in other former
communist countries.
In recent years the analysis of random network structures has
become an important issue in various applications. This book
illustrates results from two inter-disciplinary projects which
focused on the analysis of networks. The first project deals with
the modelling and the fitting of network structures that occur in
the field of telecommunication. In particular, street systems but
also telecommunication networks on nationwide scales are analysed
with respect to their geometrical structures and cost
characteristics connected to them. In the second project
intracellular structures in human cells are examined. In
particular, network structures formed by the cytoskeleton (actin
and keratin) are investigated with respect to their both geometric
and random nature. Innovative techniques from spatial statistics
and image analysis are developed and applied in order to perform a
structural analysis of these networks. Thereby the usefulness of
these techniques is impressively demonstrated by applying them in
different settings on either a macroscopic or a nanoscopic scale.
