The nine articles in this book explore educational and economic change in the countries of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. Together they provide both an overview of the developments - in their historical context - and an analysis of aspects of the situation in a number of different countries: the former Soviet Union, Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Romania (including Transylvania) and the new Germany. The articles not only demonstrate the immensity of the tasks facing educational development in these countries but also the extraordinary optimism and idealism of those charged with implementing change.
