Title: Industrial policy in post-socialist transitions: some lessons from the East Asian NICs
Abstract: This paper contrasts Eastern Europe's current economic reforms (based on free market principIes) with the 
	experience of some East Asian countries (South Korea and Taiwan), which relied heavily since the 1960s on import 
	protection and government intervention. Firstly, the role of protection and government support in the Asian NICs 
	is stressed. Their gradual financial and trade liberalizations of the 1980s are al so reviewed. Secondly, the main 
	flaws of the current reforms in Eastern Europe are highlighted. The paper suggests that the experience of the East 
	Asian NICs challenges free market reform as both a restructuring policy and a structural development strategy.
Keywords: Política industrial; Estrategia del desarrollo; Transición Política; Europa del Este; Asia Oriental.
