Post-Communist Transition: The Thorny Road treats the historical endeavor to transform state-controlled economies to new institutional arrangements of free market economies. This ongoing transition is an indispensable part of globalization. The recession created by the transition has lasted much longer than expected, contraction was deeper than earlier assumed, and the recovery was not - and in some cases still is not - as smooth as envisaged by both the relevant governments and international organizations. Instead of recovery and robust growth, the lasting recession has turned out to be the Great Transitional Depression, continuing in several countries over the entire decade ofthe 1990s. It is important that the effects have been felt most severely in the two countries with the largest economies - Russia and Ukraine. The author presents a series of articles that examine the underlying roots of these processes, especially from the viewpoint of policy options for the future and their political and technical constraints.

Kolodko, former finance minister of Poland, considers the links between issues of globalization and post-communist transition, the two most important economic features of the turn of the century. He discusses the pattern of economic growth and contraction of the past fifty years, and reviews the options for the next half century. He accounts for the severity of the transitional recession in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union as a result of both the legacies of the past and current policy mistakes, but demonstrates how structural reforms and gradual institutional building have enabled some postsocialist economies to recover. He proposes that, within the wider context of globalization, several of these emerging market economies will be able to catch up with the more advanced industrial countries, but emphasizes the need for quality growth policies and continuing coordination between development strategies and efforts toward structural reform. Grzegorz W. Kolodko is John C. Evans Professor in European Studies at the University of Rochester, and Director of TIGER -- Transformation, Integration and Globalization Economic Research -- at the Leon Kozminski Academy of Entrepreneurship and Management (WSPiZ).
