Abstract: As seen from the year 2001, economic policy in developing and post-socialist economies during the preceding 10-15 years had one dominating theme - external 'liberalization' or the drastic lowering or removal of long-standing barriers to almost all international transactions in markets for goods and services and movements of capital. This wave of deregulation was the central feature of 'globalization' for the non-industrialized world.
