DOWNLOAD EBOOKLithuania has transformed itself from a centrally planned economy to a market-based economy, but still is challenged by many issues related to the transition from the discarded command economy to a modern economic system. This transition has had major repercussions on Lithuanian agriculture. Like Estonia & Latvia, Lithuania had occupied a specialized role in the agricultural system of the USSR as a provider of meat & dairy products to other Soviet republics & as a recipient of feedgrains. This pre-reform system was not based on a sound economic rationale, so significant adjustments in structure & organization of production, distribution, & policy had to occur. This book offers a detailed look at Lithuania's rural economy in transition. Written by scholars who actively studied Lithuania's progress, Lithuania's Accession to the European Union gives a clear account of the differences that divide Lithuanian agriculture from the European Union, as well as prospective changes that could bring the two together. The authors also include case studies on how the Austrians & the Finns have accomplished integration into the EU. Representative of other aspiring EU members, Lithuania's situation & experience also is instructive for any transition economy striving for competitiveness in the global market. This book provides a key to the policies that will connect the economic past & future.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBased on detailed ethnographic material, "New Lithuania in Old Hands" analyzes the impact that European Union accession has had upon the country's aging smallscale farmers, and describes how the reality of Lithuania's EU membership has been a far cry from the scenarios of wealth and overabundance once promised. The text reveals that, in many instances, membership has resulted in a return to subsistence production, increased insecurity and a reinforcement of kinship obligations. Thus instead of treating the European Union as an elite project and voicing the support of various other segments of the population, this volume shows how broad parts of the rural population have been affected by and engaged in processes of change following Lithuania's accession - changes that threaten to have a large impact upon the future of the country's family structures and its farming demographic.
