Abstract | Over fifteen years have elapsed since the transition from the centrally planned
economic system started in the early 1990’s. During this time agricultural and
rural areas of Central and Eastern Europe have undergone profound structural
changes with wide variations in the degree of transformation and in the rate of
success in creating a competitive market and private ownership based food and
agricultural system. By becoming member of the European Union the "transition"
in its traditional interpretation has been concluded in ten of the Central East
European countries. The transition to market based agriculture, however, is far
from completion in Southern and Eastern Europe and especially in the CIS
countries.
International Association of Agricultural Economists (IAAE) and European
Association of Agricultural Economists (EAAE) in collaboration with the
Corvinus University of Budapest and with a number of other institutions in
Hungary organized an inter-conference seminar on the subject of agricultural
transition in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia. The major objective
of the seminar was to discuss and draw conclusions on the role of agricultural
policy in the transition process in the light of actual progress and current situation
in Central and East European countries and in formal Soviet States. In addition
the contribution of agricultural economics – both from the West and from the
East – as a discipline and a profession to the transition process in agriculture were
discussed. A specific objective was to identify priorities and means to strengthen
the agricultural economics profession in the transition countries and determine
research and educational priorities for the future.
The seminar was attended by 118 participants representing 26 countries from
Europe, North America and Asia. The Seminar was the largest professional
meeting organized by the two associations in 2007. Over 110 abstracts were
submitted and evaluated by the International Program Committee. In the two
day program of the meeting, 8 presentations were made during the 3 plenary
sessions, 66 papers were presented in the 15 contributed paper sessions in 8 subject
categories. In addition there were 15 posters discussed in the poster session and
the findings of a World Bank study on distortions of agricultural incentives in
the region was the subject of a pre-conference workshop. Plenary speakers
included Ulrich Koester, Johan Swinnen, Jerzy Wilkin, Zvi Lerman, Eugenia
Serova and József Popp-Gábor Udovecz. At the end of the seminar David Colman, President of IAAE gave a global assessment of the status of agricultural
economics discipline and profession, while Csaba Csáki, former President of
IAAE made summary comments on major issues discussed during the seminar.
This volume includes the plenary and contributed papers presented at the seminar
and submitted for publications by the authors as well as the abstracts of the poster
papers discussed.
The seminar was supported and sponsored by a number of organizations and
persons. All of their contributions have to be greatly acknowledged. First the
two international organizations IAAE and EAAE have to be mentioned, which
provided overall organizational framework and logistical support. The IAAE
provided in addition a generous grant to support the participation of young
agricultural economists from Central and Eastern Europe on the seminar. On the
Hungarian side the Corvinus University of Budapest, the Szent István University
of Gödöllő, the Research Institute for Agricultural Economics, the Hungarian
Agricultural Economics Association, the Hungarian Association of Agricultural
Sciences and the Hungarian Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development
were the major material and organizational supporters. The International Program
committee was chaired by David Colman and Csaba Csáki and included
Ulrich Koester, Joe Swinnen, Eugenia Serova and Jerzy Wilkin. The local
Organizing committee was chaired by Csaba Forgács and István Szűcs and
included Zoltán Lakner, András Nábrádi, József Popp, József Tóth, Gábor Udovecz,
László Vajda, László Villányi, Krisztina Fodor, Attila Jámbor and Tamás Mizik.
Finally IAMO, Halle facilitated the publication of this proceedings. |
