ABSTRACT
This chapter provides a Regulationist, state-theoretical account of the transformation of state projects, intervention, and strategy in relation to the effects on the production and reproduction of capitalism in East-Central Europe (ECE). It focuses on not only on the reproduction but also on the very production of capitalist relations and forms. The chapter explores a state project that enabled generic forms of capital relation to institutionalize in the ECE. It describes the emergence and transformations of dominant state projects, and accumulation strategies with respect to the functional adequacy in relation to the dynamic of capitalist accumulation. The chapter introduces methodology and analytical dimensions of the inquiry. It focuses on the role of the state in introducing generic forms of capitalist relations into the ECE. The chapter brings the threads together and provides stylized models of dominant state projects and accumulation strategies with respect to their functional adequacy to socio-economic reproduction in ECE after the fall of state socialism.
