000346154 520__ $$a"This book analyzes the politics of pension reform during the postcommunist transition in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). The book is concerned with how domestic political institutions and actors interact with external influences to shape the outcome of pension reform. It argues that despite similar pension crises and external pressures, CEE countries have pursued distinct types of reform, mainly due to different patterns of party politics. Methodologically, it combines a four case comparison of Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia with roll call analyses and expert surveys of party spatial positions. Although this book might be of primary importance to the scholars and policy-makers interested in welfare reform, it speaks also to a broader audience concerned with the politics of unpopular policies, as well as those with an interest in political parties and party systems in new democracies"--Provided by publisher.
000346154 520__ $$a"At a time when pension reform is intensely debated all over the world, postcommunist countries have accomplished some of the most radical reforms, yet with notable differences among them. Why did some Central and Eastern European countries achieve major reforms while others have struggled to overcome domestic opposition? The Politics of Pension Reform in Central and Eastern Europe reveals unexpected patterns of political party competition that shed light on this essential question of pension politics. Using a comparative analysis of Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia this study shows that nationalist parties are the strongest opponents to reform, while the social democrats play a pivotal role between the pro-reform liberals and the anti-reform nationalists. The This book argues that the most resilient to reform are the occupational privileges inherited from the communist regime"--Provided by publisher.
