This
book explains the conditions under which political parties in government were
able to influence economic growth in post-communist European countries. It
highlights higher education and international investment as the two essentially
related areas that have been steered by governments.
The
book illustrates how these countries have become reliant on multinational
companies (MNCs), given their governments’ strategy to attract foreign capital,
how political and economic factors are intertwined and how political parties in
power can have a strong influence on the growth prospects of these economies.
Furthermore, it illuminates the extent to which political parties use their
space for manoeuvres when enacting policies and how they respond to their
constituencies when doing so. It shows how structural conditions such as the
dependence on MNCs influence policies, and how this pattern varies across
Central and Eastern Europe. The book brings political parties back into the
discussion on political economy and back into the analyses of welfare politics,
varieties of capitalism, and democratic capitalism.
This
text will be of key interest to scholars and students of comparative politics
and comparative political economy, European policy-making, Central and Eastern
Europe, trade, welfare and development, and higher education.
