The coordination of decision making has always been an important topic for politicians, business people, and scientists alike. The experiment in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe to build a centrally planned economy provides an excellent example to study the possibilities and limitations of planned coordination. In this study, the author focuses on the interaction between several actors in a centrally planned economy, stressing the dominant position of the planner. An historical essay on the organization of production in the Soviet Union is combined with several theoretical insights. This forms the basis for the argument that the planner's reluctance to take the preferences and the strategies of others in society are essential explaining why the socialist experiment failed.

The introduction of a market economy in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe required an enormous legislative effort, in order to create the regulatory framework for a vast array of new economic activities. The resulting statutory materials in turn gave rise to numerous books and articles, by domestic lawyers from the countries concerned, as well as by foreign scholars. By comparison, the other part of the legal diptych - the establishment of the rule of law - has received less attention from academic commentators. The purpose of this volume is to correct the balance to some extent, especially by looking at various aspects of legal reform through the prism of human rights. The legal implementation of a respect for human rights turns out to be an even more comprehensive and pervasive enterprise than creating the legal framework for a market economy. A number of important areas of law are highlighted in this volume; the emphasis is, although not exclusively, on the Russian Federation.
