“…In March 1987 a GATT Working Party was established to determine membership conditions. The GATT had experience of nonmarket economies (NMEs) like Yugoslavia, which joined in 1966, and Poland, in 1967 (Grzybowski 1980). GATT’s role was in any respect limited to the external relations between states, not the internal relations of them, but talks stalled after the Tiananmen Square crisis of 1989 and did not restart in earnest until 1993 (Wu 2016: 284).…”

This article examines the application of neoclassical economics to the discussion of China’s transition to the market in the 1990s and its accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2001. It shows how this theory shaped, and misled, forecasts of the impact of that accession and of China’s subsequent economic performance. It discusses the debate between mini-bang and big-bang transition policies in the 1990s and shows the two sides shared far more in common than separated them. Both sides misestimated, in fact grossly underestimated, the dynamism of China’s economy. It shows how widely anticipated predictions of crisis and collapse with China’s WTO accession were the natural result of the assumptions of the neoclassical model. It suggests that a rival model of market transition based on Bukharin and Kuznets has much to offer. JEL Classification: P22, P26, P21, B24

Changing international political environment especially after the II World War and 1989 had affected both political and economic geography of Eastern Europe. The collapse of Socialist Republics concluded with new independent states and liberal economies. As a result, international political economic geography of Eastern Europe and Balkans completely changed and ex-Socialist states began to develop more close economic and political relations with the West integrating European Union (EU) or Central European Free Trade Agreement (CEFTA). Macedonia is located in the heart of Balkans and surrounded by Albania, Bulgaria, Greece and Serbia, also close to important markets of Europe which like Italy, Germany, France and Turkey. Thus, this paper aims to evaluate the affects Macedonia's geographic location to her foreign trade. For this purpose firstly the effects of changing international political economy to (Yugoslavian) Macedonian economic geography and relations are assessed. Secondly Macedonian economic geography which is integrating with the world is evaluated with her potential domain and thirdly panel gravity model employed to assess the relationship between geographical distance and economic activity. Our data consist from 33 countries which are important partners of Macedonia (EU-27 countries, CEFTA members and Turkey) with 2004-2013 periods. We estimate this relationship with panel corrected standard errors (PCSE) approach. Our test results show Macedonia's geographic location (distance and common border variables) is an important determinant of her foreign trade. Also as an important variable economic size (sum GDP variable) rise is highly effective on Macedonia's foreign trade. However we couldn't find any relationship between regional membership variable (CEFTA) and foreign trade.
