Abstract (EN)

The chapter focuses on the crisis in the countries of eastern Europe, starting with the ‘transition’ to capitalism at the end of the 1980s. The concept of ‘core and periphery’ played an important role in the building of the EU. What were the consequences of EU-membership for the countries of Eastern Europe? What is the role of the IMF in imposing the new austerity plans?
