A Tale of Two Politico-Economic Systems: Implications for Entrepreneurship in Central and Eastern Europe
研究了中欧和东欧国家在社会主义崩溃后转向资本主义过程中，四种竞争性社会运动对创业文化发展的影响，对理解该地区经济改革与创业环境有帮助。
Following the collapse of socialism in the late 1980s, Central and Eastern European countries initiated attempts to adopt capitalist economic frameworks and promote entrepreneurship. However, persistent economic difficulties and high levels of unemployment have led to dissatisfaction with political parties favoring capitalism. We integrate identity, institutional, and social movement theories to describe the emergence of four competing social movements (capitalist democracy, socialist command, social democracy, and populist command) that are undertaken to pursue politico–economic reforms. We discuss the implications for developing an entrepreneurial culture in Central and Eastern Europe.
