2004 year became quite important for all the countries of East Europe: for some of them, it was marked with fulfillment the main international political assignment, which was put forwards after 1989 revoluitions – joining EU, for others it meant serious fortification of hopes for the same successful ending of the first stage of post communist transformations, proved by their joining NATO. It is necessary to underline, that we are speaking about ending of the first stage of transformations, as a lot of problems of transitional period is left still undecided, high grade characteristics of old and new members of EU still differ.
go onAmong the most actual problems of transformation we should mention:
1) in economic sphere
– Keeping the condition of transformational recession (systems crisis of the transitional economis) in the countries of SEE;
– Flaw of direct foreign investments in the same countries, that together with the first problem make “bewitched circle” of poverty;
– Problem undecided, concerning respructurization of economics, especially keeping “bad” manufacturing (mettalurgy, manufacturing chemistry, extractive spheres);
2) In political sphere
– Creating democratic regimes of the new example, which differs a lot and is not much better then the classic, West European one ( so called non-liberal democracy with its non-developed civilians, weak and dependant Mass Media, self-governance in the cities, that is in poverty);
– Strengthening positions of ultra-right, populist parties with their programm “ cleaning society from communist past” (lustrative laws, banning of the communist parties activity);
3) In ideological sphere
- permanent tries to find the only one, right ideology instead of marxism-leninism, that on the edge of 80-90s XX c. Dissapeared as the real influating formation power;
- experiments with nationalistic ideology, which costed a lot to countries of the region, especially to it’s south-eastern part, and go on keeping a destructive potential till today;
- keeping special civilian passivity of easteuropeans, as the featurem which was theirs for all the soviet and post soviet period;
- a new conflict, which is just starting in EE sociaties, - “conflict of generations” – which can become very sharp nowadays.
