	New book announcement: “Reforms for Ukraine: Ideas and Actions,” edited by Janusz Szyrmer and David Snelbecker. This book contains a collection of articles produced by the Harvard/CASE Ukraine Project team. The activities of the Project have been funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Diverse concepts and ideas concerning post-Soviet transition are presented. The analysis and evaluation of current experience with transition are used to formulate policy recommendations for Ukraine and other countries of the region. The focus of the book is on specific reform measures as well as interactions among these measures and their direct/indirect and short-term/long-term effects on the economy. The authors emphasize the importance of such disciplines as general social science theory, political economy, and sociology, as well as such growth factors as information, institutions, both formal and informal, and policies.
