Edited by Iván Major, Senior Fellow and Head of the Center for Institutional Studies, Institute of Economics, Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Hungary

This important book provides a comprehensive analysis of the impact of privatization on the economic performance of companies in Central and Eastern Europe. It sheds new light on the achievements and shortcomings of the privatization process and draws out lessons for the future.

‘. . . it is exactly this close and critical view on a complex topic by insider experts instead of the well known discourse deducted from (Western) assumptions and prejudices which makes the book highly valuable for both practical and scientific readers.’
– Thomas Steger, Journal for East European Management Studies
