Globalization under and after socialism : a comparative and historical perspective -- The limits of autarchy in the periphery : trade, planning, and East European industrialization, 1946-69 -- Upgrading socialism : technology, debt, and East European reform, 1968-85 -- Socialist proto-globalization and patterns of uneven transnational integration after 1989 -- Transnational integration and specialization in the 2000s : diverging international market roles -- Critical junctures and the politics of institutional adjustment : explaining divergence.
The post-communist states of Central and Eastern Europe have gone from being among the world's most closed, autarkic economies to among the most export-oriented and globally integrated. Reaching deep into the region's history and focusing on its long-run industrial development, Besnik Pula presents a counter narrative to prevailing narratives that explain this shift.
