Summary:

The shock waves from Russia that rocked global financial markets in the autumn of 1998 were proof that the process of transformation in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) is in deep trouble. In this book, a team of high-ranking members from the CIS administration and economic experts analyses the market-oriented transformations as well as specific features of the market evolving in the 12 states. Using a wide range of statistical data, the authors deal with industry, agriculture, the military-industrial complex, the scientific and social sphere, finance and investment, market infrastructure, international trade, as well as other aspects. Based on the experience of reforms in other major economic regions, they develop a centrist concept for sustainable development and economic integration that offers the possibility of overcoming the current problems. Provides Western readers with an insider view of the present situation and a wealth of valuable statistical data.
