Call for papers
Papeles del Este is a bi-annual electronic journal that analyzes topics
related to the transformations that took place in systems demarcated by
their Soviet genre. Thus, Papeles del Este aspires to go beyond our
mentioned scope of analysis by including the similar experiences of reform
seen in countries such as China, Cuba and Vietnam.

Our objective is to develop a forum of critical debate concerning the
changes that have taken place in the post-communist countries and to offer
an open editorial space where individuals may publish investigations that
rigorously study the transformation of the post-communist systems and it’s
repercussions on the new world order.

Our intentions are to elaborate the essential questions that help in
understanding, analyzing and explaining the challenges dealt with by the
post-communist countries from an interdisciplinary view.  Each issue will
contain a monograph followed by a forum of debate; this latter section will
be composed of the ideas postulated in the monograph and of other works on
the problematic of transition, not necessarily related with the monograph.
We would be please if you decide collaborate with us sending articles.

The next issue of Papeles del Este. Transiciones postcomunistas (which will
be edited in December of 2002) will examine in its monographic part the
social actors during transition periods and accession to the European Union
as follows:
1.- The difficult harmony of the social and the economic in postcommunist
countries.
2.- Political Transition: Reform of old and born of new trade unions,
relations among them and with the political parties.
3.-  The set up of trade unions in front of the big dilemmas of the economic
reforms.
4.- Relations between trade unions and left parties.
5.- The new legal-institutional framework. Change of the role of trade
