Dear colleagues, As we are preparing our course syllabi for the summer and fall sessions, I’d like to direct your attention to a new book that Routledge has added to its recommendations for International Economics / Business and that is relevant for Economic Development, Economic History, Comparative Economics, Political Economy, and/or Transition Economies (publisher’s recommendation<https://www.routledge.com/economics/collections/14320/43139>). Transition Economies: Transformation, Development, and Society in Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet Union https://goo.gl/jSN65c is an analytical and critical survey of a complex question of economic history of the post-socialist economies. Advance version of the book received early praise<https://www.routledge.com/Transition-Economies-Transformation-Development-and-Society-in-Eastern/Gevorkyan/p/book/9781138831131#reviews> from Otaviano Canuto, Gerard Roland, Branko Milanovic, Daniel J. McCarthy, and others. As a quick summary, please see this brief overview here<http://agevorkyan.com/2018/11/10/thetunes/> or please follow this link to a full video presentation<https://youtu.be/DTeI5mYGV5I> at a dedicated World Bank event, and interview with the New Books Network<https://newbooksnetwork.com/aleksandr-v-gevorkyan-transition-economies-transformation-development-and-society-in-eastern-europe-and-the-former-soviet-union-routledge-2018/> (other presentations here<http://agevorkyan.com/>). The book is available for course adoptions (request on Routledge’s web) and a journal review copy may be ordered by visiting publisher’s website: http://pages.email.taylorandfrancis.com/review-copy-request/ I hope this text may be helpful in your work and course designs and will look forward to hearing from you!
