  • Transitional Social Policy in the Czech Republic and Poland

    Open AccessMitchell A Orenstein, Mitchell OrensteinARTICLECzech Sociological Review1995Cited by: 10References: 1

The social net erected by the Czech Republic in the postcommunist period is credited with reducing social insecurity, while the lack of such a safety net in Poland has led to widesp…

    Karla Brom, Mitchell A Orenstein et al.ARTICLEEurope Asia Studies1994Cited by: 12

    IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC successful privatisation has created a new sector of the economy-the privatised sector.
