      abstract = {"This book analyzes the politics of pension reform during  the postcommunist transition in Central and Eastern Europe  (CEE). The book is concerned with how domestic political  institutions and actors interact with external influences  to shape the outcome of pension reform. It argues that  despite similar pension crises and external pressures, CEE  countries have pursued distinct types of reform, mainly due  to different patterns of party politics. Methodologically,  it combines a four case comparison of Hungary, Poland,  Romania, and Slovakia with roll call analyses and expert  surveys of party spatial positions. Although this book  might be of primary importance to the scholars and  policy-makers interested in welfare reform, it speaks also  to a broader audience concerned with the politics of  unpopular policies, as well as those with an interest in  political parties and party systems in new  democracies"--Provided by publisher.},
