Borderless Bazaars and Regional Integration in Central Asia
Local populations' economic opportunities can be enhanced through special arrangements governing movement of people and goods in neighboring areas. For instance, in the Tajikistan-Uzbekistan border-crossing points (BCPs), preferential treatment accorded to residents in contiguous regions varies from one BCP to another, even within one borderline, restricting the distance allowed for travel into the territory of another country to the closest larg…
The ‘Cooperative’ Mode of Dismantling Communism
Introduction Developments in Poland in January- June 1989 set the stage for the final breakdown of the Soviet hegemony in Europe, whereas the launching of the Balcerowicz stabilisation-cum-transformation program paved the way for establishing foundations for competitive markets in Poland and other postcommunist countries. Three historic events, each overshadowing the earlier one, heralded the change: 1) the decision of the Polish Communist Party …
Entrepôt for Chinese Consumer Goods in Central Asia
Relying on mirror foreign trade statistics and their reconciliation with official data on balance of payments, two economists demonstrate the important role of bazaars as major conduits of trade in Central Asia, and particularly of Kyrgyz bazaars for the entry of Chinese consumer goods into the region. The authors estimate that in recent years up to three quarters of the goods imported by Kyrgyzstan have been unofficially re-exported to other Cen…
Industrial Restructuring as Revealed in Hungary's Pattern of Integration into European Union Markets
through the lens of export performance-has had unique features. During the first stages of the transition, most exports came from firms with already established links with abroad and/or through redirection of exports from former Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (CMEA) markets (Kaminski, 1993). Subsequently, sustainability of foreign trade and economic growth would depend on facilitating the entry of 'second generation' firms, i.e. those whi…

The Evolution of Communism
The paper presents a framework for understanding the evolution of communism. We suggest that the politico-economic system of communist regimes may be usefully seen as an institutionally and ideologically constrained bargaining game. We distinguish three stages of the develop ment of this "game"-pure communism, late communism, and constitutio nal communism. Pure communism is characterized by an aspiration to the total control over society, and a s…
The Anatomy of the Directive Capacity of the Socialist State
This article discusses the problem of the directive capacity of the socialist state, defined as the ability to identify opportunities available within both the domestic and international political economy and to develop and implement policies. The focus is not on how the directive capacity of the socialist state is actually used by the elites but on the identification of basic mechanisms shaping it. The following questions are addressed: What is …
Eastern Europe and the Third World
In the 1980s, as the states of Eastern Europe seek a higher international profile than previously in the postwar period, they continue to develop a broad range of ties with the Third World. This paper examines the salient features, motivations behind, and possible trends in these relations. There are several specific questions to be addressed. What distinct stages in the evolution of relations between Eastern Europe and the Third World can be dis…
