RESTRUCTURING OF THE ECONOMIC ELITES AFTER STAT...

The collapse of the former socialist states has led to the transformation of their political 
economic and social systems as well as a major change in international orientations. In this
context  new economic and political elites of the former state socialist societies have
emerged. How they have emerged from state socialism is a major component of this book which has
two major themes. First  we consider the recruitment patterns of the new elites  among others
the extent to which the new leaderships have been reconstituted from the former cadres of state
socialism. Second we outline the consequences of transformation on the institutions 
particularly the formation of markets and privatisation in the context of the dynamic of the
enlargement of the European Union and the entry of the new states into the world system.This
collection of papes is based mostly on two conferences out of six serial conferences under the
general responsibility of David Lane  Cambridge University. The first conference was held in
Budapest on 4-5 September 2004 at Corvinus University of Budapest (Institute of Sociology and
Social Policy  Centre for Empirical Social Research) and organized by György Lengyel  the
second on 13-14 May 2005 at University of Bremen (Institute of Sociology Institute Labour and
Economy) led by Jochen Tholen.
