This is the sixth edition of Nations in Transit, the only comprehensive, comparative study of post-Communist political and economic transitions in Central and Eastern Europe and Eurasia. Covering 27 countries, Nations in Transit 2002 provides an overview and analysis of a 14-month-long period of change beginning November 1, 2000, and ending December 31, 2001. This study is part of a public-private initiative that is primarily funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development, with additional support coming from the Open Society Institute and other private foundations.
