Description of the research topic:
The transformation from a command to market economy created a new field of economic research. The phenomena of these processes cannot be understood and interpreted within economics but embedded in social, political context. The approach of international political economy is able to provide an appropriate conceptual framework. PhD students are invited who are interested in the investigation of either the transformation or the current economic performance in one or a group of these countries from Central Europe to Asia.
