That is the main focus of this volume, which is divided into three sections. The first analyses the effects of the enlargement on the functioning of Community institutions, on the relations with the other Eastern European countries, and finally on regional and global economic dynamics; the second section analyses in detail the role of the monetary politics of the European Central Bank and the activities of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development; and the third deals with the importance of the entrepreneurial class in ensuring the success of the transition process of the Eastern European economies.EconomicsEuropean Union countriesForeign economic relationsEurope, EasternEurope, EasternForeign economic relationsEuropean Union countriesEuropean Union countriesForeign economic relationsEurope, CentralEurope, CentralForeign economic relationsEuropean Union countriesEuropeEconomic integrationElectronic books.Economics.337.1/420947338.94Quadrio Curzio Alberto27982Fortis Marco39801MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451726403321The EU and the economies of the Eastern European enlargement2205275UNINA
