Book Description

July 1998 1858986516 978-1858986517
This text examines the limits and scope of regional capitalist development, documenting the nature and causes of uneven development in Slovakia. It addresses industrial and restructuring strategies, arguing that current progress must be understood within the context of the past and that the present complex mid of old and new economic and institutional structures contribute significantly to economic fragmentation and divergence. The book focuses on regional and economic change in Eastern and Central Europe, using Slovakia as a case study. It explains the relationship between industrial change and regional development and discusses fragmentation within the context of the legacy of the state socialist industralization model.

Editorial Reviews

Review

'...the best parts of the book...point to the importance of detailed empirical study and to the recognition of diversity even within individual countries.' -- Martin Myant, Slavic Review, Winter 1999

...it is a highly suitable text for students because its clear presentation and lucid style make it accessible. -- – Jane Hardy, Progress in Human Geography

It is a significant work that will both contribute to, and further, our understanding of post-socialist transformation. -- – Melonie Feakins, European Planning Studies

The book is essential reading for anyone teaching or researching the transition of ECE, particularly because it provides a wider view of these processes. -- – Jane Hardy, Progress in Human Geography
