Compare Re-Constructing the Post-Soviet Industrial Region by Adam Swain, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

This book examines the political economy of attempts to restructure the Donbass, one of the Soviet Union's most important 'old economy' 'rustbelt' industrial regions. It shows how local interest groups have successfully frustrated the central government's and the World Bank's proposed market-oriented restructuring, and how a manufacturing-based regional economy is surviving, partially, with restructuring postponed. | Re-Constructing the Post-Soviet Industrial Region by Adam Swain, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
