COMECON - Comecon

Japanese: COMECON - コメコン

Council for Mutual Economic Assistance. An economic cooperation organization formed in 1949 by Eastern European countries, mainly led by the Soviet Union. It was a response to the Marshall Plan, proposed by the United States in 1947. It promoted a planned economy based on the international division of labor, and achieved results in terms of concrete economic cooperation and industrialization, such as the construction of oil pipelines connecting countries, from the 1950s onwards. However, due to the large differences in the stages of economic development between countries, which made it easy for them to become Soviet-centric, and changes in the international situation, each country tended to take its own actions, and Albania effectively withdrew in 1962. The headquarters is in Moscow. There were 10 member countries, including Cuba, Mongolia, and Vietnam, which were not Eastern European countries, but it was dissolved in September 1991 due to the decommunization of Eastern European countries and the collapse of the Soviet Union.

経済相互援助会議Council for Mutual Economic Assistanceの略称。1949年ソ連を中心として東欧諸国が結成した経済協力機構。1947年米国提案の西欧諸国経済復興計画（マーシャル・プラン）に対抗したもの。国際分業に基づく計画経済を推進，1950年代以降諸国間を結ぶ石油パイプライン建設など具体的な経済協力，工業化の面でも成果が上がった。しかし，諸国間の経済発展段階の差異が大きくソ連中心主義になりやすいことや，国際情勢の変化などから，各国は独自の行動をとる傾向が現れ1962年にはアルバニアが事実上離脱した。本部はモスクワ。加盟国は東欧以外のキューバ，モンゴル，ベトナムを加え10ヵ国であったが，東欧諸国の非共産化，ソ連邦の消滅により，1991年９月解体された。
