Abstract

The regional dimension of the transformation processes undertaken in Central and Eastern European countries represents a new field of research in regional science (van Geenhuizen and Nijkamp, 1995a). The problems involved in the restructuring of regional economies, the question of regional policy instruments in a context of acute shortage of financial means, the question of decentralisation, the impact of European integration etc. represent central issues in analysing the regional economies in these countries in transition.
