Description
The origins of this volume lie in the history of collaboration on regional development research between the editors and many of the authors over a period of ten years. Through a series of international research projects, conferences and seminars debating the emerging regional development challenges and regional policy responses in Central and Eastern Europe, the idea of a book that would take a comprehensive, systematic look at the issues was born. After a decade of reform, the book was conceived as an opportunity to take stock of the regional problems and disparities associated with the transition process and regional development policy challenges confronting regional, national and European policy-makers. At the heart of the volume is the relationship between transition and cohesion and the response of government. The book brings together contributors from Western, Central and Eastern Europe, presenting academic perspectives from geographers, regional economists and political scientists and the viewpoints of practitioners engaged in regional development.
It encompasses region-wide overviews of developments across Central and Eastern Europe as well as accounts of the regional development situation in each of ten countries and a discussion of key thematic issues and regional policy responses.
