Transport and Economic Development in the New Central and Eastern Europe
Author: Derek R. HallPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
This book aims to provide the first major appraisal of transport resources and developments in Eastern and Central Europe following the collapse of the Warsaw Pact. As market economies emerge and the eastern-ward focus of transport systems becomes increasingly reversed, a timely review is necessary to assess how its often heavily subsidized, antiquated and bureaucratic system can cope with new and urgent demands. Following a broad introduction to the main issues, the book develops the main themes confronting the region's transport - modernization, privatization, new markets, destinations and routes and wider European integration. Region-wide overviews are interspersed with authoritative and detailed national or sectoral surveys dealing with complex topics like the impact of German unification of tourism. The books concludes with a research agenda for the future.

Author: Leslie DienesPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000312437
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
This work examines the geographic position of soviet Asia in the overall econany of the USSR and analyzes the impact of major national policy issues on its development and prospects. The Asian USSR constitutes three-fourths of the country's territory, an area exceeding the size of Brazil and Australia combined. Its acquisition was the result of Russian expansion and conquest in the past 499 years. This vast territory is still hinterland to the European USSR, weakly and unevenly integrated into the country's economic and societal mainstream. Moreover, the Asian USSR is hardly unifonn, culturally or otherwise. Its regions play very different roles in the Soviet spatial system and are affected by different policy choices on the national level. On the one hand, there are striking contrasts between Moslem Central Asia and Siberia (including the Far East). On the other hand, the Siberian regions are also assigned different economic and strategic roles according to their resource endovnent, their links to the economic power centers in the European USSR (partly a function of their east-west and north-south positions) and their strategic vulnerability or importance.
