Preface:

Dear readers!

 

We are glad to present the first 1998 issue of IISEPS informational and analytical bulletin. It reflects the main results of IISEPS’ work in the first quarter of this year on the projects “The overcoming of anti-market stereotypes in post-communist Belarus” carried out with support from the Eurasia Foundation and the United States Information Service (USIS) in Belarus and “Building an information infrastructure of the market economy in Belarus” realized with support from the Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE). The bulletin contains fragments of reports made at IISEPS regional seminar in Vitebsk, analytical materials based on IISEPS opinion polls and content analysis of the press as well as materials presented at the Minsk seminar on developing economic programs of the non-state television.
As usually, we have tried to obtain unbiased information on social and economic processes in Belarus by inviting experts holding different views to express their opinions. We sincerely hope that the information contained in this bulletin will be useful to your work.
