Ten chapters, bracketed by an introduction and conclusions by editors Welter (J繹nk繹ping International Business School, Sweden) and Smallbone (Small Business Research Centre, Kingston U.,
England), provide case studies of the role of government policies in the development of entrepreneurship and small business in Central and Eastern European countries, where previous experience
of entrepreneurship was limited or nonexistent prior to the fall of the Soviet bloc. Topics include the local dimension of entrepreneurship policy in the former territories of East Germany,
cross-border entrepreneurship promotion in Bulgaria, university-level entrepreneurship education in Poland, regional innovation policy in the Polish city of Lodz, entrepreneurship and small and
medium enterprise policies in Russia, and fostering women's entrepreneurship in Ukraine. Annotation 穢2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
