Transformation of Cities in Central and Eastern Europe: Towards Globalization

The dramatic changes since 1989, including the collapse of Communist ideology, the break- up of the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia, the end of the Cold War and the impact of globalisation and European integration, have reconfigured Central and Eastern Europe and affected the re-integration of the capital cities into European and global networks. This volume identifies and describes the transformations of these cities towards market oriented and democratic systems.
