Abstract

There are a number of ‘Western’ transition economies in Eastern Europe which applied for membership in the European Union in the early 1990s and have visibly succeeded in preparing for EU-accession. Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland but also Slovenia, Slovakia and the Baltic states are frequently mentioned as the most advanced transition economies and promising candidates for EU eastern enlargement. In preparation for EU-accession, the economy and society of these countries has gone through substantial changes.1
