It also evaluates the reforms' effects on these countries' militaries, and vice versa. In general, reforms improved economic efficiency, but the improvements were most notable in the private sector; improvements in the state-owned industrial sector were marginal. All three militaries had more difficulty attracting personnel after the introduction of the reforms--private-sector opportunities became more attractive than military careers for more individuals. Increased pressures to reduce military budgets and operate the militaries more efficiently also accompanied the reforms. The militaries, in turn, affected the course of the reforms. In Poland and China, military intervention in politics retarded the implementation of the reforms.  aAlso available on the internet via WWW in PDF format.  aDescription based on print version record. 0aChinaxDefensesxEconomic aspects. 0aChinaxEconomic policyy1976-2000. 0aHungaryxDefensesxEconomic aspects. 0aHungaryxEconomic policyy1968-1989. 0aPolandxDefensesxEconomic aspects. 0aPolandxEconomic policyy1981-1990.1 aYeh, K.
