ENThe aims of the present article are three-fold. First, we conduct a survey of the most representative theoretical and empirical research on the emerging varieties of post-communist capitalism in Central and Eastern Europe. We critically review standard conceptual frameworks, their applications and derivatives, and non-standard approaches. Second, we highlight the major peculiarities of institutional development in CEE countries that make the direct application of both standard and non-standard theoretical frameworks problematic. Finally, we outline the possible directions of future research on the emerging models of post-communist capitalism and suggest essential extensions to the methodology involved.
