Abstract
The paper considers the problem of creating a market economy and democratic polity simultaneously in a post-Communist state. In the context of weak inherited political and judicial systems, the attempt at rapid transition to a market economy is likely to have unfavourable consequences in terms of corruption. This prediction is supported by preliminary evidence from research on the privatisation process and its “control framework”.
