Extending and modifying a well-established conceptual framework for comparative capitalism rooted in new institutional economics and economic sociology, it offers a better explanation for transition-specific and path-dependent factors inherent to systemic transformation. Based on a vast dataset, the book therefore illuminates the (dis)similarities among the institutional architectures in the EU countries. Thus, the book argues that the evolving capitalism in Central and Eastern Europe exhibits strong symptoms of institutional ambiguity or a "patchwork" nature which makes it a distinct category from any of the co-existing models of Western European capitalism. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of comparative political economy, Eastern European politics, post-communist studies and more broadly to researchers in the fields of economics, European politics and the wider social sciences. It will also be of significance to journalists, policymakers, members of international organizations and consultancies with an interest in Central and Eastern Europe and in European integration. 410 0$aRoutledge advances in European politics. 606 $aCapitalism$zEurope, Central 606 $aCapitalism$zEurope, Eastern 606 $aCapitalism$zFormer communist countries 615 0$aCapitalism 615 0$aCapitalism 615 0$aCapitalism 676 $a330.943 702 $aRapacki$b Ryszard 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910729739303321 996 $aDiversity of patchwork capitalism in Central and Eastern Europe$93392426 997 $aUNINA
