Çekoslovakya Cumhuriyeti 1989 yılında Doğu Bloku’nun dağılmasının ardından dünya ile ekonomik entegrasyonu sağlayabilmek için 1 Ocak 1991 tarihinde serbest piyasa ekonomisine geçme kararı almış, ancak 1993 yılında demokratik oylamayla Çek ve Slovak Cumhuriyetleri olmak üzere iki bağımsız devlete dönüşmüştür. Bu çalışmada yaklaşık altı beş süren geçiş döneminde (1991-1995) bu ülkelerin ekonomisinde yaşanan gelişmeler ele alınmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda bu ülkelerin reformları başarılı biçimde gerçekleştirmelerine rağmen söz konusu dönemde ekonomik olarak ciddi sıkıntı yaşadıkları gözlenmiştir.
