Opis

This title was first published in 2003. Since 1990, Central and Eastern European countries have experienced increasing integration with the EU via trade and foreign direct investments. The spatial implications of this process have been little investigated so far. Illustrated with case studies from Bulgaria, Estonia, Hungary, Romania and Slovenia, this book identifies and explains the effects of economic integration on patterns of regional specialisation, location of industrial activity, and regional growth in accession countries.

Recenzje

'A very important book that covers new ground on the spatial implications of economic integration in Eastern European accession countries. It represents applied regional economics at its very best, an absolutely essential reading for serious students and scholars in European Integration.' Professor Manfred M. Fischer, University of Economics and Business Administration, Vienna. 'This is a valuable book shedding light into the spatial implications of East-West integration in Europe. It is a requirement for policy makers and students in the fields of integration, transition and regional development.' George Petrakos, Associate Professor, University of Thessaly, Greece, Director, South and East European Development Center
