The role of state in varieties of capitalism (SVOC), achievements and challenges for Central and Eastern Europe and the emerging markets (A conference review)

Abstract

On the 26-27th of November, the Central European University’s Center for EU Enlargement Studies and the Hungarian MTA KRTK VGI co-hosted several presentations and keynote lectures at the CEU campus in Budapest. The conference proved highly attractive for our community of economic sociologists in light of the recent response to the framework provided by CEU’s Dorothee Bohle, as well as the presence of high profile scholars in the field; namely, Martin Myant and Andreas Nölke.
