Centre for Co-operation with Economies in Transition Ordre des livres

This volume brings into light for the first time the important contribution local initiatives make to solving complex social economic problems in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and the Slovak Republic. It provides policymakers and practitioners from transition economies and OECD countries with a comprehensive understanding of the "local initiative" concept in the context of transition economies. The report identifies policy shortcomings in the four countries and recommends actions to stimulate local entrepreneurship and job creation.
