The role and interdependencies of the various drivers and their impacts on stakeholders and institutions in the transition process will be discussed from a crosscutting and interdisciplinary perspective. Past experiences will be summarized into 'lessons learnt' and contribute to further theory building. Special emphasis will also be set on developing a basis for future development paths and the relevant challenges for political, economic and scientific actors.
The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 marked the symbolic beginning-of-the-end of centrally planned economic systems in Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. The transition process to market economies and democratic political systems affected agriculture and rural areas in these countries and initiated massive structural changes not only at farm level but also within agribusiness chains and throughout the economy. However, the full transition process is taking longer than predicted and the success rate in creating competitively oriented food and agricultural systems varies remarkably between countries and regions. Parallel to the transition process, important political and economic changes have taken place, such as the entry of Central and Eastern European Countries into the EU and WTO, as well as changes within world agricultural and food systems such as globalization and the increasing vertical integration of food chains.
The Forum 2009 will be combined with a Special Session organized by the European Review of Agricultural Economics (ERAE) and the European Association of Agricultural Economists (EAAE). The special session will comprise 3-4 invited papers, which will be published in a Special Issue of the ERAE together with a selection of the best papers presented at the IAMO Forum 2009 that fall within the area covered by the ERAE.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
