The role of the West in the reconstruction of agriculture in Eastern and Central Europe and the former Soviet Union
分析了西方通过双边和多边援助在中东欧和前苏联农业重建中的支持作用，强调援助需基于实证基础，并建议通过农业教育、研究和推广项目培养当地能力。
There is a drama unfolding in the agricultural reconstruction taking place in Central and Eastern Europe, and although the West can only play a supporting role through its bilateral and multilateral assistance, this assistance will be crucial in guiding their local counterparts in understanding the policy environment and constraints under which they operate. Atpresent, the empirical underpinnings for this are weak, and the nature of outside assistance is such that momentum is often lost between missions. Resident missions in these countries should include a capacity for sustained dialogue on agricultural policy, grounded on a strong empirical base. The long run objective must nevertheless be to develop a capacity, in particular through agricultural education, research and extension programs.
