How do we understand the typology of East European economies in transition? This paper tries to answer this question through investigating a variety of studies of the complex transitions occurring in Eastern Europe.
First it challenges making a research model to compare these complexness and differences. Secondly, it investigates studies on the causes of differences descendent from the socialist and pre-socialist period. Thirdly, it examines studies about ones indigenous to the process of transition itself.
Finally it is concluded that transition economies could be categorized and typified in the space that the three dimensions constitute: the degree of cumulative liberalization, the line between the over-withdrawal of the state and its institution-constructive role and the degree of regional integration.
