The Political Economy of PostCommunism: The Donbas and Upper Silesia in Transition,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
This book is about the first twenty years of postcommunist transformation in the Donbas (Ukraine) and Upper Silesia (Poland), the two largest industrial regions of Eastern Europe. It exposes a dramatic increase in inequality and poverty, persistently high levels of unemployment and of criminal and selfdestructive behaviour, which have all characterised Upper Silesias transition to capitalism. This study also shows how the Donbas population has suffered from a steep decline in living conditions and a sharp deterioration of healthcare and human development standards. Based on original primary data, this book stresses the detrimental impact on regional restructuring of the inherited structural liabilities and exogenous shocks emanating from the collapse of state socialism. The studys main argument, however, is that what determines the eventual outcome of transformation is not so much the legacy of the communist (or even precommunist) past or the extent of neoliberalisation, but the success which a society has in moulding its major institutions both inherited from state socialism and those copied from modern capitalism in a complementary, reciprocally sustaining manner.
