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...

Der EG-Binnenmarkt ist Wirklichkeit. Wozu noch ein weiteres Buch zu dieser Thematik? In der Tat ist im Vorfeld der Vollendung des Europaischen Binnenmarktes viel tiber seine wirtschaftlichen Vorteile fur die Volkwirtschaften, die Untemehmen und natiirlich die Biirger geschrieben worden. Nun sind die Barrieren fur den freien Warenverkehr gefallen. Vielen Untemehmen und manchen Biirgem wird es jetzt erst so recht bewuBt, was mit diesem historischen Ereignis am 1. 1. 1993 auf sie zugekommen ist.

Inhaltsangabe:Einleitung: „War noch vor wenigen Jahrzehnten die Frage der grenzüberschreitenden Unternehmenstätigkeit wenigen Unternehmen als strategische Option vorbehalten, so ist sie heute für die meisten existierenden Unternehmen zu einer zwingenden Überlebensfrage geworden“. Die durch die Globalisierung geschaffenen Veränderungen verwandeln die „Internationale Jagdlinie“ der Wirtschaftsregionen. Es stellt sich wieder die ehemals beantwortete Frage - wer jagt wen? Während vor diesen Veränderungen der Reihe nach in der Kette die Entwicklungsländer, dann die Schwellenländer, gefolgt von Japan und am Ende der Linie die westlichen Industrieländer ihr Platz gefunden haben, i...

By many measures, the German Democratic Republic (GDR) had the strongest economy in the Eastern bloc and was one of the most important industrial nations worldwide. Nonetheless, the economic history of the GDR has been primarily discussed as a failure when compared with the economic success of the Federal Republic and is often cited as one of the pre-eminent examples of central planning's deficiencies. This volume analyzes both the successes and failures of the East German economy. The contributors consider the economic history of East Germany within its broader political, cultural and social contexts. Rather than limit their perspective to the period of the GDR's existence, the essays additionally consider the decades before 1945 and the post-1990 era. Contributors also trace the present and future of the East German economy and suggest possible outcomes.
