| Abstract |
| The recent institutional forms originated from the Soviet period and radical top-down reforms have no impact on the behaviour and relations among economic actors. The weakening of state control and the development of private property did not create economic agents interacting through price signals. The abolition of administrated economy do not erase the historical memory of socio-economic actors and the destructuration of networks did not imply their total destruction. Based on their former experiences, economic actors re-organize themselves. New institutions arise from the old and this is not «a common place». This is a very different approach. The dynamics of change depend on the system to be changed and this is fully explained in the paper. Action of actors composing the system determine the future institutional framework and the type of relations. The analysis shows that the new legal structure is unlikely to evolve through an exclusively top-down process. |
