#3 MEPOST seminar description
Patterns of (de)industrialisation and economic restructuring in Poland and Lithuania after 1989

The seminar will discuss the patterns of industrialisation and economic restructuring in Poland and Lithuania since 1989. During the transition period, Carolyn Kadas worked as a journalist and researcher for the Economist Intelligence Unit's Eastern Europe office in Vienna. The audience will therefore have the opportunity to hear analytical insights and ask questions of someone who has experienced the transition first-hand.
