Industrial Competitiveness in East-Central Europe

Edited by Martin Myant, European Trade Union Institute, Belgium

Will the manufacturing industry in east-central Europe survive when the host countries join the European Union? This controversial book challenges the assumption, made by the European Commission, that industries in transitional economies should have little difficulty establishing and maintaining a competitive position after entry into the European Union.

‘On the whole, it is an excellent book. Very useful for Indian policymakers, analysts, and industries.’

‘The studies included in this volume are rich not only in relevant statistics and overviews of recent trends, but also in important insights and far-reaching conclusions. This work is undoubtedly an important contribution to our understanding of post-communist transformation, and provides guidance for thinking about the future. Policymakers at national and EU levels thus should also consider the book as a valuable source for shaping policies for sustainable growth in Central-Eastern Europe.’
