Abstract

The transition from Marxist-Leninist socialism to market-oriented democracy has been difficult for most of the countries of East and Central Europe. Many observers view that process as consisting largely of the privatization of state-owned enterprises and the establishment of market relations in the countries involved. But the transition of the public sector in countries once managed by central planning regimes has also been a very important and difficult part of that historic development. The public sector under central planning was highly centralized so that the party could maintain a tight monopoly over all levels of the country’s decision-making powers. Thus, democratization has required a process of fiscal decentralization to restore some autonomy to local government.
