Economic Reforms in Centrally Planned Economies and their Impact on the Global Economy

This volume focuses on the important issues raised by the recent economic reforms of the centrally planned economies of China, South-East Asia, Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. Participation in the international trade regime and how this may be affected by the economic reforms; implications of the reforms for economic relations with developing countries and development assistance performance; participation in international monetary and financial regimes and how this may be affected by economic reform; and the impact of economic reform on regional integration schemes are all analysed in depth.
