But one feature of the process that has not been considered is when is the process over. When has a transition progressed far enough to ensure that a market system will survive and mature? Are there institutional, economic, and political standards that countries reach that measure the level of transition attained or, indeed, show that they have completed transition? This book addresses these issues. |
