From the Paper:

"Belarus, formerly part of the Soviet Union, was selected as a country having continuing economic problems at the same time as the country is failing to achieve the democratic reforms that many see as necessary to serve the needs of the economy. Information on Belarus was gathered from the data provided on the website CIAO Atlas, which also includes an analysis of the political situation in the country as of 2003-2004, the most recent period for which data is available. The economy of the country has been growing, posting growth of 6.1 percent in 2003 and 6.4 percent in 2004. However, the country still faces problems because of high inflation, persistent trade deficits, and poor relations with Russia, the largest trading partner and energy supplier for the country. "
