The following paper was completed in June 1990 and was written primarily as a policy paper for the Polish Ministry of Foreign Economic Relations. While revising this paper for publication, we faced a dilemma of how to update our earlier analysis, which rapidly became outdated due to the speed of changes taking place in Poland, the Soviet Union and the rest of Eastern Europe. After much thought, we decided against simply updating data in the paper, as we realized that it could destroy the logical cohesiveness of our original analyses and recommendations. Therefore we decided to leave the earlier work unaltered, to stand as a document of thought about the change process then underway. We thought it more appropriate to provide readers with an epilogue, elaborating on major developments within the last six months and evaluating changing prospects for Polish trade.

Since mid-1989, remarkable political and economic changes have occurred in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. Although the countries differ with regard to the scope, speed, and sequence of these changes, in the economic arena the objective is, in all cases, to abandon traditional central planning and replace it with a market economy. An integral component of these efforts to establish markets is the reform of foreign economic relations and greater involvement in the world economy.While a tide of political and economic change has swept the East, Cuba has adamantly held on to a one-party political system and to orthodox central planning.
