The article attempts to theorise about the social changes mobilised by the transformation strategies in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. It looks at what resources and actors have been mobilised, how they can be related to the institutional changes underway, and whether the emerging institutional changes towards competitive economic and political systems can be supported by efficient resource allocation and socio-cultural adaptations. In order to do this it is useful to refer to the current debate on modernity/post-modernity and its efforts to identify common practices or institutional forms coming out of the various developments in the advanced countries. The most appropriate patterns are discussed and applied as a framework for the assessment of the intended and unintended social implications of the economic transformation in the Czech Republic
