Political Economy of Agrarian Reform in Central and Eastern Europe

<p>First published in 1997 this volume responds to the challenges faced in post-Communist Eastern Europe in the privatization and decollectivisation of agriculture. The contributors feature specialists in agriculture finance economics and political science. They begin with discussions on the political economy of privatization and a historical overview and continue with thoughts on agricultural decollectivization in twelve countries across Eastern Europe including Albania the Baltic countries Bulgaria Slovakia and Hungary. The project reflects the basic framework of endogenous institutional change and policy analysis and uses a political economy framework to explain and interpret these agricultural trends.</p>
