Creating competitive market economies in Poland and Hungary
Article Abstract:
Hungary's privatization efforts have been generally more successful than those of Poland. Hungary's approach, with its emphasis on competition and profit amid relative political stability, has prepared the country to be a player in international trade. Poland's marketization program, which made compromises to preserve jobs, has been slowed by internal political squabbling and policies protecting domestic interests at the expense of foreign investment. Although Hungary is closer to achieving a market economy, both countries' success depends on proper coordination of trade policies with antitrust laws.

Incorporating environmental law in the context of privatization tranactions in Hungary, Poland, and Russia
Article Abstract:
The efforts to privatize the energy industry in Russia, Hungary, and Poland underscore the tensions that can occur when environmental issues arise in shifting to a market economy. The success of privatization depends on a proper environmental enforcement framework and a recognition of the importance of environmental protection and reforms, even if such reforms slow economic growth. The tension between economic growth and environmental reform are analyzed through case studies of the situations in Hungary and Poland.
