Abstract

165 Janos Fehérváry1 International Law Enforcement Academy in Budapest (ILEA) The USA has recognized that it is necessary to assist both the Middle and Eastern European Countries (MEE countries) and the successor states to the ex-Soviet Union (NIS, New Inde- pendent States) in their transition from Communism to Democracy. The majority of the American aid programs for the region are directed at establishing the principles of the free market economy and the due course of law. The dramatic increase in organized crime in the region reveals that many are still confusing a free market economy with chaos, and a demo- cratic society with the collapse of law and order. As a consequence of the social, economic and political changes in the states in this region the formal control system has been weakened and rendered uncertain. This has enabled a strong increase in crime and corruption involving potential dangers with international implications. In view of this development and associated problems, the US Congress approved expendi- ture of US$ 30 million in the 1995 FREEDOM Support Act and SEED Act to assist the MEE Countries and the NIS in the fight against crime and corruption. US$ 20 million were made
