The current economic transition in Central and Eastern Europe is
leading to the emergence of significant fragmentation within
regions and between countries. The competitive struggle for scarce
resources and global markets during the transition to capitalism in
Eastern and Central Europe has caused countries to move away from a
process of regional convergence which existed under state socialism
to regional divergence. This book focuses on regional 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 industrialization
model. The book interweaves up-to-date empirical analysis with
theoretical debates and uses regional case studies to highlight key
issues. Reconstructing the Regional Economy examines both 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 mix of old and new economic and
institutional structures contribute significantly to economic
fragmentation and divergence. The author criticises shock therapy,
and argues that the transition to a market economy cannot simply be
achieved through filling the supposed vacuum left by the collapse
of central planning. This original and important book will be
welcomed by academics and students interested in the economics of
transition and by policymakers in Western and Eastern European
countries.
