The numbers and scope of encounters between the economic actors of the "East" and the "West" which have dramatically increased during the past two decades are scrutinized. Chapters in the volume reveal how indigenous actors workers, entrepreneurs, government officials, economists, think tank analysts etc. in Eastern Europe, select (accept, adjust and mix) certain cultural packages while rejecting others. Although cultural exchanges are rarely symmetric, there is little to prove that "strong Western" culture devours (civilizes) the "weak Eastern" one, or "clashes of civilizations" drive capitalist transformations in the region.
