Le transfert de l'économie de l'information vers l'Europe de l'Est

The existence of totalitarian regimes in Eastern Europe during the 1960's, a time when telecommunications and information systems were expanding rapidly in the West, led to a considerable technological lag. With the opening up of Eastern Europe, governments are faced with huge difficulties. A weak economy hinders large-scale catching-up programmes and the absence of technico-economic elites compromises privatisation, often considered as the miracle cure although better suited to Western over-development than to solving technological under-develop- ment from within
