Abstract

This chapter focuses on the trends and offers an assessment of the regulatory and deregulatory changes taking place in those selected Central and Eastern European Countries from the viewpoint of international business. The authors also attempt to analyze the influence of the regulatory and deregulatory changes upon the conduct of international business in these countries as well as the effect of such changes upon the values of macroeconomic indicators achieved by the countries analyzed. As regards the latter, however, it should be pointed out that it is very difficult to distinguish between the effects achieved as a result of regulatory and deregulatory practices and the overall effects achieved resulting from a combination of other factors, and nearly impossible to quantify the same.
