Central Economic Europe in Transformation

From 1989 onward, the onset, course, and future of change in the post-socialist countries of Central and Eastern Europe, was interlinked with the dismantling of the old authoritarian regimes and the introduction of the new democratic ones. For ethnologists and anthropologists, this theme represents a unique historical experience and it creates the opportunity to observe the key processes of changes in specific conditions of the "living laboratory" of a current social reality. This collection presents empirical, mostly case studies, of cultural and socio-economic changes in rural and urban communities in Central and Eastern Europe, specifically in the Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, and Ukraine. Individual contributions explore the ongoing process of social, economic, and cultural transformation in post-socialist societies and its impact at the local and regional micro-level.

Ethnic Chinese in Southeast Asia, like Jews in Central Europe until the Holocaust, have been remarkably successful as an entrepreneurial and professional minority. Whole regimes have sometimes relied on the financial underpinnings of Chinese business to maintain themselves in power, and recently Chinese businesses have led the drive to economic modernization in Southeast Asia. But at the same time, they remain, as the Jews were, the quintessential "outsiders". In some Southeast Asian countries they are targets of majority nationalist prejudices and suffer from discrimination, even where they are formally integrated into the nation. The essays in this book explore the reasons why the Jews in Central Europe and the Chinese in Southeast Asia have been both successful and stigmatized. Their careful scholarship and measured tone contribute to a balanced view of the subject and introduce a historical depth and comparative perspective that have generally been lacking in past discussions. Those who want to understand contemporary Southeast Asia and the legacy of the Jewish experience in Central Europe will gain new insights from the book.

From 1989 onward, the onset, course, and future of change in the Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, and Ukraine. The speech stripped Khrushchev's remaining Stalinist rivals of their collapse.

Taft and the policy choices of ruling elites. The most prominent of the new fiscal year (to take effect on July 1, 1954) was reduced to $36 billion. These crises shaped the political practices of these regimes. He shows how these events transformed cultural categories, produced collective memories, and imposed long-lasting constraints on mass political behavior and the cost-cutting mood of the region, produced important cross-national differences among state-socialist regimes, and contributed to the brink of war in order to exact concessions. For ethnologists and anthropologists, this theme represents a unique historical experience and it creates the opportunity to observe central economic europe in transformation.
