The Many

More than 20 years ago, when Eastern European countries embarked on their corruption-prone transitions from communism, Robert Klitgaard (Adjusting to Reality: Beyond “State versus Market” in Economic Development, 1991), once designated the “world's leading expert on corruption” (in The Christian Science Monitor, March 2, 1994), proposed the abandonment of the search for the “many, many causes and conditions” of corruption. In despair at what he saw as academic hair splitting in the burgeoning study of corruption, he claimed to be more “pragmatic” by focusing instead on ways by which policy and management could reduce corruption. In hindsight, Klitgaard's intellectual impatience appears ironic as the debate on the causes of corruption was only about to commence, resulting in an expanding list of suggested causes—often derived from Eastern European experiences.

Window Approach

This paper aims to highlight the role of mutual assistance of China and Pakistan’s regional connectivity through the China‑Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and show what lessons can be learned by Central and Eastern European Countries (CEECs). CPEC promotes trade, FDI, peace, and sustainable socio‑economic development, and it can help to alleviate the effects of COVID–19 in the region to promote socio‑economic development. In this study, we employed the Rolling Window Approach (Rolling Moving Average Approach) for data analysis of pre‑ and post‑COVID–19. It also focuses on before and after the CPEC initiative’s impact on the Pakistani economy through the Rolling Window Approach and graphical trends. In Pakistan, thanks to CPEC; trade, FDI, remittance, and the stock exchange (PSX) showed an upward shift. Terrorism decreased, which indicates a positive sign for peace and socio‑economic development. However, currency depreciation increased, and the exchange rate trend is going up against the dollar, hurting the economy badly in several ways, such as the balance of payment, current account deficit, and lower some exports. To mitigate these issues, Pakistan and China have taken steps as trade formulated in domestic currency between China and Pakistan. During COVID–19, the provision of health care equipment on a priority basis from China helped to combat the COVID–19 effects and stabilize Pakistan’s Economy. CPEC is structured to connect regional economic zones by forming local, regional, and global value chains. To cope with the COVID–19 impacts, socio‑economic reforms and regional cooperation are suggested for CEECs with a pre‑post circumstances review. Regional integration and cooperation are key to coping with this pandemic. CEECs can learn lessons from CPEC for socio‑economic development, reducing violence, and improving the economy.

This paper deals with the role of marketing in Eastern Europes economic development. Economic miracles do not happen simply by democratization alone. The vital role that marketing plays in the economic development must be clearly understood and marketing practices must be adhered to. Unless the public and bureaucrats are indoctrinated about marketing their dreams of achieving economic prosperity may simply remain as dreams. Several barriers to marketing in Eastern European countries are enumerated, and these barriers must be removed as early as possible in order to make marketing work.

Clusters can be localized in almost every economy. Criteria used during cluster mapping allow to localize concentrated enterprises and other entities which might created a cluster. It is helpful in fostering clusterbased economic development.Europe tends to rank high on the quality of institutions, but low on its ability to mobilize these inputs through entrepreneurship and new firm formation.Europe also tends to rank high on R&D spending and scientific capacity but low on its ability to turn research into economically valuable innovations. Clusters have the potential to transform outcomes in both dimensions: healthy clusters provide an accessible network of skills and capabilities, i.e. a microeconomic business and innovation environment that enable entrepreneurs to move from an idea to a business activity. And healthy clusters provide an efficient environment to move from a scientific advance or a new business concept to a market test.Central and Eastern Europe on countries are a special region with the planned economy in their history. Clusters might be a good solution for their problems, they can be “engines” of the economy if they grow in the right environment. But we mustn’t expect that the second Silicone Valley appears in our neighbourhood. Clusters develop over time, and clusters in Central and Eastern European countries are still labourintensive, not technologyintensive ones. And a unique history of the region, which is part of its path of development, determines its future. So, the question “Are clusters a right way of economic development for the CEEC?” deserves a positive answer. But it is worth noting that the unique conditions create unique solutions, so clusters - yes, but different than in Western Europe and probably never that effective.

Development Gap

Abstract The development gap between the “Old” and “New” member countries of the European Union is an important problem challenging the efficiency and strength of the European single market. In this regard, a subsequent question arises: which actions in the policy making must be undertaken, by both national and supranational authorities, to stimulate cohesion in the EU and which directions should be followed? The present paper tries to answer this question considering the perspective of the Eastern European nations and their economic development premises analysing the aspects of governmental participation in the economy and the influence of entrepreneurship upon long run competitiveness. The research results explicitly underline that entrepreneurship in the Eastern European nations is a determinative driver of long-term economic competitiveness due to its favourable impact upon the formation of human capital, enhancement of innovation potential and overall intellectual resources of nations. The effects of governmental participation in the economy upon the economic growth premises are heterogeneous including on the formation of physical and intellectual capital. Consequently, it was reached the conclusion that the Eastern European Nations should prioritise entrepreneurship since it is capable of boosting human capital creation and, at the same time, they should improve the institutional quality to minimise the factors undermining the business including corruption and red-tape, etc. In such a way, the Eastern European countries can overcome, in the long run, the development gap with the Western EU states and raise their economic potential.
