Considers the establishment of devolved government in the traditionally hierarchical countries of Eastern Europe, looking at the experiences of countries including the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, and Moldova. Examines how resources could be redistributed across regions, efforts to strike a balance between tendencies to over-centralize and tendencies towards fragmentation, and the continuing influence of the regional elites of the old regime. Central-local relations are shown to be more orderly in countries with successful financial stabilization. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
