Cutting Red Ribbon But Not the Red Tape: Why Do the Attempts to Improve Postsocialist Entrepreneurial Environment Fail
Hitrorez (local name for the Regulatory Guillotine™) was an initiative that was supposed to significantly diminish regulatory burden and improve entrepreneurial climate. It seeks to identify and explain the reasons for its failure and critically analyse the influence of path dependence on the entrepreneurship reforms and in that regard consider the context of a fresh capitalist state as a socio-economic system with its distinctive features. Despite consensus the majority of bureaucrats and politicians undermine institutional reform because it contradicts their motivation. The independence and strength of the private sector is often blurred by close ties between businesspeople and incumbents. That behaviour is silently supported by prevailing collectivist culture. Yet, the positive legacy is entrepreneurial projects based on Hitrorez experience. The paper provides a transitional society perspective on the duration of reforms, their (ir)reversibility, and strong roots and efficiency of personal ties and interests compared to organisational forms and norms. It challenges the neoclassical approach to the analysis of transition. The research confirms the persistence and the lacking “ability to fight” against deeply embedded informal constraints. This is also consistent with unsuitability of recycled or purely imported Western institutions, as well as with refusal of the view on straightforward switch from planned to market economy. Key words:
Institutions; Entrepreneurial environment; Socialism; Transition
