First sentence: With the fall of the iron curtain, the unprecedented transformation from socialism to western democracy and market economy in the post-socialist Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries at the beginning of the 1990s entailed fundamental economic, social and environmental changes in the European transition countries, and catalysed an acceleration in the processes of post-industrial transformation all over Europe.
