SummaryThis book contains a large collection of papers which report on missional activities in Central and Eastern Europe, especially on initiatives based in local churches and oriented towards society. It looks across denominational lines, from Eastern Orthodox to Roman Catholic, Protestant and various neo-Protestant churches. This is a very stimulating volume which discusses a much-neglected area in Europe from the perspective of missionary practice, presenting old and new forms of mission, as well as ways forward. It is one of the few publications that addresses aspects of mission in this part of Europe, and presents valuable reading for mission agencies, seminaries and churches.The book contains contributions by more than thirty authors and has sections on reasons for mission; the Orthodox and mission; the Catholics and mission; ecumenical mission; mission in Romania; immigrants, churches, dialogue; theological education as mission; and dialogue, public sphere and mission.RésuméCet ouvrage contient un ensemble de nombreux essais relatant l’activité missionnelle en Europe centrale et en Europe de l’Est, et faisant état plus particulièrement d’initiatives à partir d’Églises locales et orientées vers la société. Il considère ce qui se fait dans des dénominations très diverses, allant des Églises orientales orthodoxes aux communautés catholiques romaines en passant par les Églises protestantes et néo-protestantes. L’ouvrage est très stimulant et aborde un domaine très négligé en Europe sous l’angle de la pratique missionnaire, en présentant des formes anciennes et nouvelles d’activité missionnaire et en proposant des pistes pour l’avenir. C’est l’une des rares publications traitant des aspects de l’entreprise missionnaire en Europe, et son apport est utile pour les sociétés missionnaires, les facultés de théologie et les Églises.Plus de trente auteurs ont contribué à cet ouvrage qui comporte des sections sur : les raisons de l’oeuvre missionnaire, les chrétiens orthodoxes et la mission, les catholiques et la mission, la mission oecuménique, la mission en Roumanie, les Églises et les immigrés, l’aspect missionnaire de la formation théologique, la mission et l’espace public.ZusammenfassungDieses Buch enthält eine umfangreiche Sammlung von Vorträgen über Missionsaktivitäten in Zentralund Osteuropa, die vor allem auf die Initiativen von Ortsgemeinden zurückgehen und auf die Gesellschaft abzielen. Es weitet den Horizont über die Grenzen von Denominationen hinaus, von den orthodoxen Kirchen Osteuropas bis zur römisch-katholischen Kirche, zu den protestantischen Kirchen und den neoprotestantischen Freikirchen. Dieser ausnehmend inspirierende Band erörtert einen in Europa sehr vernachlässigten Bereich aus der Perspektive missionarischer Praxis; er behandelt traditionelle und neuere Formen von Mission sowie mögliche Wege in die Zukunft. Dabei handelt es sich um eine von wenigen Veröffentlichungen, die sich mit Aspekten von Mission in diesem Teil Europas befassen und wertvollen Lesestoff für Missionsgesellschaften, Ausbildungsstätten und Gemeinden bieten.Das Werk enthält Beiträge von mehr als dreißig Autoren und Abschnitte über Motive und Ziele von Mission, Orthodoxe und Mission, Katholiken und Mission sowie über ökumenische Mission; es befasst sich mit Mission in Rumänien, Immigranten, Gemeinden und Dialog; es reflektiert über theologische Ausbildung als Mission und über Dialog, den öffentlichen Raum und Mission.

This chapter examines the Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) activity of sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) from two perspectives: CEE-based SWFs operating internationally and CEE as hosts to international SWF investments. The scales of both activities are marginal in global terms, yet the SWF footprint can be significant in isolated CEE industries or investment targets. While new SWFs are unlikely to emerge in CEE, the scale of global SWF allocation to the region is set to expand in line with diversification and growth opportunities. CEE should strive to improve its investment climate, including competitiveness of financial industries. The existing CEE-based (Russian) SWFs would benefit from deregulation, transparency and commitment to performance metrics, yet they remain a hostage to the future shape of Russian, and world macroeconomic policy.

The emerging negative phenomena in Central and Eastern Europe underlines the importance of the need for an ethical infrastructure of emerging markets to be built. Logically, the first step must be a formal, e.g. legal infrastructure, which is also, for obvious reasons, under principal reconstruction. The challenge here is not only that the new law must be passed but also correctly interpreted and fully implemented. For some people compliance with law is sufficient; for others this represents only the minimal ethical requirement. The role of individuals and institutions, especially governments, in the process of building the ethical infrastructure is understood differently in the CEE countries. There might be even bigger differences in the future, as market experience grows and markets mature, however, at different speeds in individual countries. It may be assumed that introducing a market system and cultivating the culture of the market necessitate different accents.
