Impressions of: Transforming the Transformation

The conference „Transforming the Transformation – Economic and Social Development in Central and Eastern Europe“ took place on the 28-30 November 2018 at the Fraunhofer IMW, Leipzig.

The conference had three goals. First, to highlight the different aspects of the economic transformation since the 1990s. Second, to calculate the political costs for the “economic success story”. Is there a link between the high popularity of populist parties and the economic and social policy? Third, to discuss the different options to further develop the national social and economic policies as well as the question, whether there is a universal solution, or whether it is necessary to develop individual strategy for every country.
