Description
J anos Gaes and Georg Winekler In recognition of the key position of international trade in the transition and the need for concentrated discussions of topical trade issues the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) organized an international conference on "International Trade and Restructuring in Eastern Europe" which took place in Laxenburg, Austria, on 19 and 21 November 1992. The Austrian National Bank joined IIASA to co-sponsor the event. Participants of the conference were experts of international economics and trade policy from East and West, policy makers, and representatives of international organizations like the IMF, the Commission of the European Communities, the OECD, and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). The papers prepared for the event and the lively discussions during the conference itself prove that the topics are intellectually challenging and timely for policy makers. It has widely been recognized that international economic relations play a crucial role in the transition of count ries of Central and Eastern Europe. The scope, speed, and success of the efforts to transform the formerly cen trally planned economies to market economies have increasingly become de pendent on the pattern these count ries have in their relation to the rest of the world. Transition comprises three major processes: macro-stabilization, mar ketization, and restructuring. The success of these three hinges to a large extent on the response of these economies to the new conditions set by international trade and exchange regimes.

Description
In the wake of the political landslide of 1989-1990 in Central and Eastern Europe, the countries of the region realized that international economic relations play a crucial role in their transition. The scope, speed and success of the efforts to transform the formerly centrally planned economies to market economies became increasingly dependent on the pattern these countries form in relation to the rest of the world. This book is a collection of papers on the task of transformation of international trade relations of these economies. Its major topics are: the role of exchange rate regimes, with special emphasis on the goals of macroeconomic stabilization, currency convertibility and trade performance; trade liberalization and the emerging trade patterns, with special emphasis on the sustainability of the recent bold liberalization of trade, the pattern of restructuring and the countries' relation to their former partners in ex-CMEA, as well as to the economies of the European Communities; enterprises and trade restructuring, with special emphasis on the impact of trade re-orientation, price liberalization and privatization on the behaviour of East European enterprises.
The book uses current empirical data material that is unaccessible from other sources. It collects confronting views and scholarly arguments on the most critical issues of transitions and international trade relations from leading East European and Western experts. Readers are also provided with up-to-date reviews and comparative analyses of the transformation of institutions, and on the emerging patterns of trade in Eastern Europe.
