This paper argues that the variation in institutional arrangements found in post-Soviet states stems from the different economic ideologies of the elites that have gained control since independence. The author identifies methods that can be used to identify the economic ideas of the governing elite. The paper concludes with a cross-national comparison of the post-Soviet states which suggests that actors' ideas about how economies function have an important role in explaining why post-Soviet states have taken different international institutional paths.
