本文力图对原苏东国家经济转轨研究领域中的 4个颇有争议的问题提出一些看法 :( 1 )原苏东国家经济转轨的理论基础是新自由主义和华盛顿共识。( 2 ) 1 0多年的转轨取得了明显的积极成效 ,但也使许多国家付出了沉重的代价。 ( 3)转轨成效的差异除了与初始条件有关以外 ,还与其他因素密切相连。 ( 4 )转轨进程的速度不外乎激进和渐进两种。这两种方式孰优孰劣 ,取决于本国的实际情况。 This article tries to put forward some views on the four controversial issues in the field of economic transition in the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe: (1) The theoretical basis of the economic transition in the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe was the consensus of neo-liberalism and Washington. (2) The remarkable transition has been made in more than 10 years with positive results, but it has also cost so many countries a heavy price. (3) In addition to the initial conditions, differences in the effectiveness of transition are closely related to other factors. (4) The speed of the transition process is nothing more than radical and gradual. Whether the two approaches are better or not depends on the actual situation in the country.
