Description: "This book integrates the international pressures emanating from the Washington Consensus with an analysis of domestic interest representation to explore the political consequences of privatization and the progress of democracy in Eastern Europe. Chris Hasselmann argues that the issue of pension reform offers a natural controlled experiment with which to explore both issues throughout the region and the former Soviet Union."--Jacket.
