摘要:It is well known that the dramatic changes in Eastern Europe will have far-reaching effects in Eastern European countries and around the world. However, the characteristics and dimensions of these effects are obscure. Consequently, CHOICES is pleased to include this interview with Csaba Csaki, Rector of the Budapest (formerly Karl Marx) University of Economics. His training as an agricultural economist, his continual contacts with policymakers throughout Europe, and his study of events in Europe, and how they might unfold in the future, provide him with a unique foundation for discussing Eastern Europe in the coming decade.
