Ampliación y convergencia: una perspectiva general

Abstract

One of the strategic focuses of governments that have emerged from the disintegration of communist structures has been to bring the production and social levels closer to those of developed capitalist countries. The objective of this article is to analyze and discuss the economies in transition as they adjust to this situation, identifying their plans for convergence (or, in their case, divergence) between six central and eastern European countries - Bulgaria, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic and Romania (Eastern and Central European Countries)- and the European Union and Spain.
