Crafting Democracy
The importance of subnational regions to politics, governance, and economic development in Western Europe has long been recognized. However, far less is known about recent steps to introduce a regional level of politics in East Central Europe. Reforms there are part of the larger process of crafting democracy; that is, regional reforms are linked to the economic and political transition away from communism and toward “Europe,” specifically the European Union. Crafting Democracy offers an important comparative analysis of the process and outcomes of region-building in the four Visegrád countries. Jennifer A. Yoder investigates why some but not other post-communist countries chose to intr...
The Making of Regions in Post-Socialist Europe — the Impact of Culture, Economic Structure and Institutions
The study combines the debate on regionalisation with transformation research. It regards the formation of regional actors and institutions not primarily from the perspective of formal organisational structures, but also a consequence of the macro-political transformation regime and region-specific opportunity structures. These structures include evonomic restrictions, historical legacies and cultural resources that are conveyed in present informal mechanisms, personal networks, discourses, and development strategies. The qualitative empirical approach offers a vivid picture of regional developments. The two volumes cover Malopolska and Silesia (Poland), Hajdu-Bihar County (Hungary), Timis County (Romania), and the L'viv and Donetsk regions (Ukraine).

Remembering the Neoliberal Turn
This book discusses how societies, groups and individuals remember and make sense of global neoliberal change in Eastern Europe. Such an investigation is all the more timely as the 1990s are increasingly looked to for answers explaining the populist and nationalist turn across the globe. The volume shows how the key processes that impacted many lives across the social spectrum in Eastern Europe, such as deindustrialization, privatization, restitution and abrupt social reorganization, are collectively remembered across society today and how memory narratives of the 1990s contribute to current identities and political climate. This volume establishes the memory of economic transformation as a ...
Region tradycyjny w unitarnym państwie w dobie globalizacji
Tematem niniejszej książki jest społeczne konstruowanie regionu. Analizą objęto województwo małopolskie, stanowiące - w formie administracyjnej jednostki podziału terytorialnego państwa - swoistą „przestrzeń zadaną". W centrum zainteresowania znajdują się kwestie empirycznych warunków podmiotowości regionalnej. Przyjęta przez autora perspektywa instytucjonalna definiuje zagadnienie podmiotowości regionalnej w postaci trzech ściśle z sobą powiązanych problemów: autonomii regionalnej, a więc warunków i możliwości uzyskania politycznej kontroli nad procesami zmiany; modernizacji, czyli zdolności aktorów regionalnych do przekształcania istniejących powiązań sp...
