ABSTRACT
The preceding chapter brought out the contrasting experiences of different countries and the scope of the changes incurred since the beginning of the world crisis, A more horizontal analysis is needed to identify the issues of the 2000s by exploring what the characteristic institutional forms of a new accumulation regime might be: wage relation, nature of the State, monetary constraint, and forms of articulation with the international regime. Particular attention will be paid to the prospects for European economic and monetary integration and the changes in Eastern Europe. In each case, it will be seen that the choices are more open than is often admitted.
