This book is important for at least three reasons. First, it gives a general overview of the transition countries - some are part of the EU, others not yet. Although the initial position, economic capacity and political direction are quite different, they have geographical and historical unity. The closing chapter summarizes and demonstrates the convergent and diverging evolution of countries that have made significant efforts for their transformation. One second reason is that as many sites are being analyzed using a standard format, the more interesting it becomes. This can lead to further knowledge about transferring methods, techniques and models. One third reason is that this book raises many questions. How can we make irreversible reforms? Of what is made a successful or failed reform? Why do some of the solutions do not fit? How does culture affect? What change does the leadership do? These are scientific problems with practical consequences. Can CEE (Central and Eastern European) countries learn from Portugal and Spain?

Transition is the term used as a synonym for the situation in which the world economy was, transformation from socialism to capitalism. The initial transition focus has been the economic transition, the change of the right-of-ownership regime and the liberalization of the economy. The primary focus was decentralization, because the former socialist states were completely centralized. Decentralization was necessary in order to begin transformation and modernization. The transition process, in itself, has not been easy. The Baltic States and Central European countries are considered as "more advanced transition countries / economies" that have done much to reform their economies and have successfully completed the transition through a democratic society over law enforcement and respecting human, individual and collective rights. All of these countries are already members of the European Union since 1 May 2004. The situation is somewhat different in the Balkans (South East Europe) and in Central Europe, but some of these countries (for example, Croatia) have made more progress towards integration into the EU.
