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. 606 $aEconomics 607 $aEuropean Union countries$xForeign economic relations$zEurope, Eastern 607 $aEurope, Eastern$xForeign economic relations$zEuropean Union countries 607 $aEuropean Union countries$xForeign economic relations$zEurope, Central 607 $aEurope, Central$xForeign economic relations$zEuropean Union countries 607 $aEurope$xEconomic integration 615 0$aEconomics. 676 $a337.1/420947 676 $a338.94 701 $aQuadrio Curzio$b Alberto$027982 701 $aFortis$b Marco$039801 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825087603321 996 $aThe EU and the economies of the Eastern European enlargement$93966107 997 $aUNINA
