Twenty-five years into transformation, Central and Eastern European
regions have undergone substantial socio-economic restructuring,
integrating into European and global networks and producing new
patterns of regional differentiation and development. Yet
post-socialist modernisation has not been without its
contradictions, manifesting in increasing social and territorial
inequalities. Recent studies also suggest there are apparent limits
to post-socialist growth models, accompanying a new set of
challenges within an increasingly uncertain world. Aiming to
deliver a new synthesis of regional development issues at the
crossroads between 'post-socialism' and 'post-transition', this
book identifies the main driving forces of spatial restructuring in
Central and Eastern Europe, and charts the different regional
development paths which take shape against the backdrop of
post-crisis Europe. A comparative approach is used to highlight
common development challenges and the underlying patterns of
socio-economic differentiation alike. The issues investigated
within the Handbook extend to a discussion of the varied economic
consequences of transition, the social structures and institutional
systems which underpin development processes, and the broadly
understood sustainability of Central and Eastern Europe's current
development model. This book will be of interest to academics and
policymakers working in the fields of regional studies, economic
geography, development studies and policy.

Across Europe there is a rapidly changing context for undertaking
regional development. In the 20th century, development of the
former planned economies (Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary,
Poland, Romania and Slovakia), was defined by these countries
differences, rather than their common ideological roots. These
disparities altered over time and were marked by changing social
structures. However, the ranking of regions has remained the same
as core areas have strengthened their positions while the
structural obstacles to the modernisation of peripheral areas have
remained due to a lack of coherent regional policy. This book
examines the specific regional development paths of Central and
Eastern European countries and evaluates the effects of the
determining factors of this process. Through analysis of the system
of objectives, instruments and institutions used in different eras,
and case studies of Hungary, East Germany and Germany, development
models are established and compared with Western European patterns.
The book summarises the experiences of Central and Eastern European
regional cooperation and examines the basic nature of the cohesion
problems of the Carpathian Basin trans-national macro region. It
confirms by comparative historical analyses that the transformation
was indeed unique. This book will make a welcome addition to the
literature for students and academics interested in the broader
picture of Central and Eastern European politics, future
integration within the European Union and the history of regional
development processes.
