商品詳細

This book, based on extensive original research, surveys the impact of globalization, economic transition, economic restructuring, and regional economic change on the Russian Federation.

The author employs the methodological and theoretical approaches of both 'old' and 'new' economic geography to explain the spatial consequences of Soviet socialism for the new economic geographies that are being created by the processes of transformation. Including a review of recent English-language research by geographers and other social scientists, and also original empirical analysis, it makes a contribution to wider debates, both about the theory of regional economic change in the post-socialist world, and the relationship between geography and area studies.
