The Economics of Soviet Break-up (Routledge Studies of Societies in Transition, 1)

Before 1991, little was written or known of the individual states which made up the USSR, and their identities were subsumed into the Russian monolith. The Economics of Soviet Break-up analyses the effects of the break-up of the Soviet Union into fifteen independent states.

Topics discussed include: past and present economic relations between the republics, and forecasts for the future discussion of Customs Unions, Monetary Union or a Payments Union as possible ways forward for these states, economic integration theory, how the states of the Soviet Union functioned before the dissolution.
