Professor Berend presents a comprehensive inside account of Hungary's economic reforms since the 1950s. Working from Communist Party archives, which have hitherto partially remained closed to scholars, Berend situates the history of these economic reforms within their political context, looking in particular at the role of the Soviet Union. He examines the theoretical background to reform, the obstacles that arose during implementation and the gradual realisation that minor reforms of the old system could no longer work. The Hungarian Economic Reforms 1953-1988 comes at a time when many centrally planned economies are examining their performance and structure and seeking suitable forms of change. The Hungarian reforms have attracted those countries wishing to rid themselves of their Stalinist command economies. Thus the book indirectly sheds light upon Chinese economic reforms and on Gorbachev's Soviet perestroika. It will be of interest to specialists and students of East European studies, with special reference to the EMEA, planned economies and economic reform.

Since the early 1950s, most countries that adopted Soviet-style central planning have attempted to reform this system. Certain commonalities stand out: a thrust toward increasing the autonomy of enterprises or subnational entitites in determining investments, wages, hiring, input purchase, product mix, and the conduct of foreign trade; reliance on the price system and financial mechanisms to guide enterprise decision making; linking earnings of managers and workers more closely to enterprise and individual performance; and recognition of a constructive role for the private sector. At the same time they have considered reform, however, these centrally planned economies have been remarkably resistant to change. Experience suggests that the success of reform depends largely on the strength of political support, the comprehensiveness and internal consistency of the reforms, the length of time they are pursued without interruption, and the availability of some economic slack. Case histories of reform in Romania, China, Hungary, and Yugoslavia are included.

Three of the largest and strategically most important nations in the world--the Soviet Union, China, and India--are currently in the throes of historical change. The reforms in the giants are transforming global economic and geopolitical relations. The United States must reexamine central tenets of its foreign policy if it is to seize the opportunities presented by these changes. This pathbreaking volume in the Overseas Development Council's series analyzes economic reform in the giants and its economy to foreign trade and investment. What consequences will this have for international trade? Each giant is attempting to catch up to global technological frontiers by absorbing foreign technologies: In what areas might cooperation enhance American interests, and in what areas must the U.S. protect its competitive and strategic assets? What role can key international economic institutions play to help integrate the giants into the international economy? The contributors suggest how U.S. foreign policy should anticipate these new circumstances in ways that enhance international cooperation and security. Richard E. Feinberg is vice president of the Overseas Development Council and co-editor of the U.S. Third World Policy Perspectives series. John Echeverri-Gent is a visiting fellow at the Overseas Development Council and an assistant professor at the University of Virginia. Friedmann Miller is a visiting fellow at the Overseas Development Council and a senior research associate at Stiftung Wissenschaft and Politik, Ebenhausen, West Germany.
