Description: This books is about change in Central and Eastern Europe, and how we think about social and economic change more generally.

In contrast to the dominant 'transition framework' that examines organizational forms in Eastern Europe according to the degree to which they conform to, or depart from, the blueprints of already existing capitalisms, this book examines the way economic and social actors in the post-socialist setting are restructuring organizations and institutions by redefining and recombining resources.

Instead of conceiving these recombinations as accidental aberrations, the book explores their evolutionary potential. In it a distinguished group of scholars from West and East blends wide-ranging theoretical discussion with detailed empirical analysis of developments and institutions in Hungary, Poland, Eastern Germany, Russia, and the Czech Republic.
