Editorial Reviews:
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.

Customer Rating: Summary: massive restructuring of industry and identity Comment: In eastern Europe after the fall of communism, many regions had to remake their economies and indeed their identities. The book studies these efforts and their results. Many difficult issues arose, like privatisation of formerly state-owned companies and industries. There was also now a need to attract foreign investment.
Mixed up with all this was the idea of regional identities. Some portions of the book hark back to a pre-World War 1 era, in an effort to find a 'golden age' of cultural achievements. Hence, some countries like Hungary saw efforts to embrace the memories of Habsburg rule. Another contentious subject covered is homogeniety versus diversity. Was one better than the other?
