Abstract

This papier applies stucture-actor analysis to prsent changes in Eastern and Central Europe. While stuctural analysis helps to identify broad economic potentials, the actor-oriented approach is important as method to analyse options and barries for matching these potentials at the micro level. This is especially important in the economy with fluctuations and high level of uncertainty. Based on a preliminary contextual bottom-up analysis of social groups in Eastern and Central Europe, the paper identifies nine actor groups and their resources.
