East European Quarterly 42(1), Spring 2008 : 43-67. Despite similarities and differences, these two new EU members experi- enced different dynamics in their systemic transformation. They estab- lished varying types of socio-economic regulation and different institu- tional settings. Our analysis shows how these variations were deter- mined partly by the logic of historic legacy or `path-dependence`, i.e., the conditions at the start of the transition process, as well as by the charac- ter of the elites, particularly the political ones, and their strategic choices. In order to understand better the role and significance of the structuring of political arena in both countries in the post-communist period, the ideological background of elite configurations and their consequences for socioeconomic development will be outlined.
