The Democratic Process and the Market
Challenges of the Transition

The transition of the former socialist countries and East and Central Europe to a pluralistic, democratic system of governance and a modern market economy has involved historically-unparalleled changes. This publication presents a study of the global democratic process and offers a specific contribution to the global dialogue on democracy in transition. It provides a regional perspective on the interrelation between political and economic change, and delineates the unprecedented challenges recent developments have presented both to the states in transition and to the international community.
