Journal Title: Zbornik radova Ekonomskog fakulteta Brcko - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 11

Abstract

Institutional approach has been frequently used in the last decades in explaining the transition process of the former command (“socialist”) economies and societies in East Europe to market (“capitalist”) economies and societies. Namely, institutions have been conceived as a basic framework for human interaction in a society or, in other words, “the rules of the game”. These rules can be formal (constitutions, laws, statutes) and informal (beliefs, values, norms). Formal rules in the longer period change depending on the aforesaid deeply rooted informal frameworks. The transition in Eastern Europe has been primarily the process of institutional political and economic change. However, the transformation of political and economic institutions has always been embedded in informal rules or social and cultural institutions. The main goal of the paper is to discuss the existence and possible characteristics of East European cultural cluster as a general informal framework for the transition process.
