A comprehensive account of the environmental changes in Central and
Eastern Europe, both under state socialism and during the period of
transition to capitalism. The change in politics in the late 1980s
and early 1990s allowed an opportunity for a rapid environmental
clean up, in an area once considered one of the most
environmentally devastated regions on earth. The book illustrates
how transformations after 1989 have brought major environmental
improvements, as well as new environmental problems. It shows how
environmental policy, economic change and popular support for
environmental movements, have specific and changing geographies
associated with them. "Environmental Transitions" addresses a large
number of topics, including the historical geographical analysis of
the environmental change, health impacts of environmental
degradation, the role of environmental issues during the
anti-communist revolutions, legislative reform and the effects of
transition on environmental quality after 1989. The book also
contains case studies from the region which illustrate the
complexity of environmental issues, and their intimate relationship
with political and economic realities.
