Russian minority in Estonia


Since many people have asked when my book about the Russian minority
in Estonia will be available, I will ask to have the information
spread via Minelres that the book has now been published. It concerns:
 
Erik Andre Andersen:
"An Ethnic Perspective on Economic Reform. The Case of Estonia"
Ashgate: Aldershot, Brookfield USA, Singapore, Sydney, 1999, 539 pp.
 
Here is a quotation from the back cover page:
 
"This book has its main emphasis on the consequences of privatisation
for the Russian population in Estonia. The book will attempt to answer
the following questions by comparing the Estonians and the Russians.
 
Who are the new owners of private property?
Who is in control of management in the private enterprises?
How is income and unemployment distributed among the ethnic groups?
 
The process of restoration of the Republic of Estonia (which began to
move fast in the late 1980s and culminated with the declaration of
national independence in 1991) is seen as an important political
factor behind the economic reform in Estonia. This reform during the
transition period is generally considered to be among the most
successful in eastern Europe."
 
Thank you.

Erik Andre Andersen
