Abstract: A political economy approach to the transition process required the incorporation not only of the economic structure but also of the political and ideological structures. Consequently, an application of a political economy methodology to the transition process gives rise to alternative models of transition. Each model confronts the elements of the transition process - economic analysis; what is a good society? speed; political structure; ideological structure and whether the initial conditions were a concern - with different solutions, making it meaningful to distinguish between alternative models.

Keywords: transition economies; transition process; political economy; transition models; economic structure; political structure; ideological structure.
