Policy in Transition
Democratic transitions in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and the
post-Soviet space set in motion after the collapse of communist
regimes have compelled us to reflect on the formation and particularities of
emerging political systems. The process of transition involves
transformation from both a centrally planned to a market-based economy
and from authoritarianism to pluralistic democracy. What conditions
make successful transition possible and what factors make democracy endure?
What factors and processes are responsible for the divergent paths of
transition countries? How can transition be promoted? These and other
questions are addressed by this working group with a focus on
Romania-a country experiencing an accelerated transition process and reform of
its policymaking processes in the run-up to its planned European Union
accession in 2007.
