Abstract: The transformation of former socialist economies in Central and Eastern Europe is a still continuing long-term process. Since explanations and political recommendations by mainstream economics have not been sufficient, research on methodology and theory of transformation is necessary still today. In this paper an evolutionary approach will be introduced to explain the phenomenon of “transformation” as borderline case of long-term institutional evolution. In concrete it will be described as adaptive-imitative step within institutional competition caused by “exit” and “voice” in the Hirschman sense, initiated by political entrepreneurs, channelled by cultural restriction and path dependency and - as consequence of the evolutionary approach - independent of scientific valuation.
