The aim of this thesis is to examine the characteristics
of foreign trade in Eastern European countries, before and after
the political and economical changes in 1989.
The export performance during 1970-1988 of four selected
CMEA countries, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, and Romania, is

and their effects on Eastern European trade flows.
