Provides full details of the many rapid changes in the Russian economy and the political system since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Covers the period up to 2000, offering a valuable guide to policies in the Putin era.

Presents a comprehensive overview of contemporary economic developments in China. This title covers such topics as: the growth of the market; the market replacing central planning; the reform of state owned enterprises; and, the 'open-door' policy.

Providing an overview of earlier events in order to set the context in which economic and political development have taken place, this book traces economic and political growth in China, from the early 1990s. Covering Hong Kong, Macao, Tibet and Taiwan, it discusses China's relations, including international trade with its neighbours.

This provides a detailed account of each of the socialist countries and an analysis of the various problems they have met in the long transition to market economies, each of which is very different.
