Abstract: | "A decade of transition and beyond" - Ten years after the first reforms were introduced in former socialist countries of Eastern and Central Europe, we have the opportunity not only to gauge the relative success of transition, but also the opportunity to tinker with new solutions in the areas where such solutions might be desirable. Despite many successful attempts in different socio-economic areas, post-socialist countries still have not reached their main goal - of becoming fully integrated members of the developed part of the world. The assessment of institutional transformation is not a goal in itself; instead, it should serve as a medium for reflexive thinking about the future opportunities. Institutional transformation was not a one-time historical act upon which future generations could be subsequently build 'normal' social activities. Rather, it was an attempt in building new pathways to exit from economic, social and political periphery. In my thesis it is not my intention to retroactively gain more knowledge and insight into the logic of institutional transition, but rather to evaluate the current stage of institutional reforms. |
