Kraje, które uzyskały niepodległość po rozpadzie bloku socjalistycznego, przechodzące z centralnego systemu planowania gospodarki do gospodarki wolnorynkowej, aż do momentu ukończenia tego procesu, nazywa się krajami z gospodarką przejściową. Kraje te, mimo że rozpoczęły reformy w tym samym czasie i miały podobne cele, w ostatnich 25 latach uzyskały zupełnie inne wyniki. Powodem tego jest fakt, że były to kraje, które mają bardzo różną przeszłość historyczną, położenie geograficzne, zasoby ludzkie i naturalne oraz społeczno-demograficzne. Wyżej wymienione różnice w odmienny sposób wpłynęły na jakość procesu transformacji. Podczas gdy niektórym krajom udało się skutecznie zakończyć proces transformacji, inne nadal znajdują się w procesie przebudowy. Ogólnie rzecz biorąc, proces transformacji jest procesem bardzo trudnym dla każdego kraju i postawione cele zostają osiągnięte dopiero po długich latach zmagań. W artykule szczegółowo omówiono proces powyższych przemian.

The countries that gained independence after the collapse of the socialist bloc were directed from the central planning management system towards the free market economy and were called as the countries with transition economy until they completed this process. Though these countries started nearly at the same time and had the same targets, they achieved different results within the last twenty-five years. The reason is having different historical past, geographical location, human and natural resources, social and demographic features. The above-mentioned differences affected the quality of reforms in different degrees and consequently, though the transition process was completed for some countries, it was revealed that the road to be overcome was long. Generally, the transition process was very difficult for every country and the set tasks were achieved after a long period. Therefore, while explaining the mentioned process the same chronological sequence is followed without taking into consideration different features of the countries. The mentioned process was investigated in details in the present article.
