Research project funded in academic years 2005-06 and 2006-07The University Archives has determined that this item is of continuing value to OSU's history.Partisan Politics in Transition Economies seeks to explain the diversity of politics
and economy in 25 post-Communist countries by examining the level of partisan
politics. Where either neocommunists or liberals dominate, Frye argues, there is
little polarization, and executives can push through pro-business or pro-state
policies. Where neocommunists and liberals have roughly equal power, however, there is
much more polarization. The book includes surveys of business elites and case studies of Bulgaria, Russia,
Poland, and Uzbekistan.Mershon Center for International Security StudiesProject summar
