The lack of attention to informal systems can produce unanticipated and undesired outcomes in reform and foreign aid efforts. Focussing on economies in transition, this paper will (i) review pertinent literature on informal groups and networks and states since the fall of communism; (ii) discuss the applicability of conventional models to them; and (iii) examine the social organization of states and pose questions to help analyze and compare the role of informal systems in shaping states.

“…Is there a conspiracy of the old elite to retain power, or are managers acting independently and without coordination? The experience in Hungary and Poland precipitated a heated debate about the extent of nomenklatura's gain from spontaneous privatization (e.g., Stark, 1990;Levitas and Strzalkowski, 1989). Are members of the nomenklatura converting their political power into economic power?…”

Two Western economists examine the rapid changes in property and business forms of enterprises in the former Soviet Union using evidence from intensive interviews conducted through December 1991 and involving 80 industrial and commercial organizations. After reviewing the reforms that provided the legal basis for the process, they describe different managerial strategies employed in spontaneous privatization and examine the ensuing changes in contractual relations of firms with other entities such as ministries or banks. The authors also interpret spontaneous privatization on the basis of literature covering property rights and identify several groups that lose or derive benefits from the transformation.

“…På elitnivå speglar den post-Sovjetiska situationen sannolikt samma m önster som framhållits av bl a Levitas & Strzalkowski (1990) eller Chris Pickvance (1996). Även om vi saknar data ifråga om L'viv påpekar de hur, i städer som Budapest och M oskva, elitens sociala nätverk och förbindelser ofta kom m it att användas för s k "asset conversion" .11 Plärmed avses att "aktö rer med bakgrund i kom m unistpartiernas organisationsflora visat sig benägna att släppa identifikationen med partiet för att istället använda sina resurser (finansiella dylika samt etablerade kontaktnät etc) för att exploatera vilka som helst nya, ekonomiska möjligheter som yppats" i sam band med transitionen (Pickvance 1996: 245).…”
