ABSTRACT
Privatization can be recognized more and more as the critical aspect of economic reforms in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. This trend has its roots in the very concepts of the economic reforms implemented within the framework of which the creation of the private sector assumes the essential role in creating the new system. The delicate nature of the present economic situation follows from the measures implemented by the designers of the economic reform from the higher echelons of the political forces now in power, especially with respect to their degree of radicalism. Radicalism of political subjects—especially in case these wield political power—is bound to aggravate problems in processes of reproduction of the sociopolitical consensus, negotiation, and coordination.
