Countries in Transition

Countries in transition are nations shifting from a planned or authoritarian system to a market-based democracy. This process involves transforming political institutions, establishing rule of law, and developing a functioning economy with private enterprise. Such countries often face challenges like economic instability, corruption, and social changes as they adapt to new governance and market principles. The transition aims to create more democratic, transparent, and economically open societies, but progress varies, and reforms can be complex and uneven. Examples include countries that moved from communist regimes to democratic systems in the late 20th century.
