Some countries succeeded in stabilizing their economies and are now set on course toward rapid growth, convergence, and accession to the European Union. Others, however, experienced severe and protracted recessions and their prospects for sustained recovery are still doubtful. On the political front, the past decade was marked similarly by important achievements but also grave setbacks. While democracy became firmly embedded in a number of post-communist countries, other transition countries reverted to authoritarian rule and/or experienced breakdowns of law and order, inter-ethnic conflicts, or even outright civil wars. 4aMixed Economy -- Europe, Eastern -- Congresses 4aPost-Communism -- Economic Aspects -- Europe, Eastern  a10148/MKRI-P/X1-2008  a10149/MKRI-P/X1-2008
