Zustand: very good, good. First Edition. First Printing. 286, illus., maps, notes, selected bibliography, index, some wear and soiling to DJ, publisher's ephemera laid in. Collision and Collusion takes a hard, behind-the-scenes look at aid efforts, first in Central Europe, then in Russia and Ukraine. The book shows the slick "trans-actors" who played all sides and the globe-trotting "econolobbyists" who made grandiose promises. It exposes how Harvard's best and brightest, entrusted with millions of aid dollars, colluded with a Russian clan to create a system of tycoon capitalism that will plague the Russian people for decades--and which is widely blamed on the West. Collision and Collusion tells the tortuous tale of how Western donors, who set out to build democracy, instead often rekindled corruption, communist legacies, and anticapitalist sentiments.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 306 pages. When the Soviet Unions communist empire collapsed in 1989, a mood of euphoria took hold in the West and in Eastern Europe. The West had won the ultimate vict ory--it had driven a silver stake through the heart of Communism. Its next plann ed step was to help the nations of Eastern Europe to reconstruct themselves as d emocratic, free-market states, and full partners in the First World Order.

C ollision and Collusion is the first book to explain where the Western dollars in tended to aid Eastern Europe went, and why they did so little to help. Taking a hard look at the bureaucrats, politicians, and consultants who worked to set up Western economic and political systems in Eastern Europe, the book details the e xtraordinary costs of institutional ignorance, cultural misunderstanding, and un realistic expectations. Editorial Reviews From Publishers Weekly Wedel's (The Private Poland) experience in the Soviet bloc gives her the sociological basis f rom which to understand the post-Soviet aid period. While painting a sympathetic portrait of well-meaning foreign donors, such as USAID and the European Union's PHARE (Poland and Hungary Aid in Restructuring the Economy) programs, she prese nts the myriad elements that contributed to their failure in Poland, Hungary and.…
