This volume documents development of economics, political science and sociology in Central and Eastern Europe EU accession countries from 1989 to 2001, with a special emphasis on research. Additionally, the recent situation of anthropology, demography, and legal studies is reviewed, though not in the same detail as the three disciplines mentioned first. The project on which the handbook is based was undertaken at Collegium Budapest, Institute for Advanced Study in cooperation with the GESIS/Social Science Information Centre (Branch Office Berlin), and supported by the European Commission.

It is dedicated to the enhancement of worldwide information and communication on Central and Eastern European social sciences, the improvement of options for cooperation in comparative research involving CEE countries, and the spread of information on and access to capable CEE social science research institutions.

A CD-ROM enclosed in the handbook presents an overview on Central and Eastern European institutions in the respective countries relevant for economics, political sciences, and sociology (about 700 institutions). This CD-ROM was designed and prepared by the GESIS Service Agency Eastern Europe and permits direct access to the database INEastE in the Internet. 

The reports from the handbook can be viewed online on the "Knowledge Base Social Sciences in Eastern Europe" website  at: http://www.cee-socialscience.net.
