[edit] EAST CENTRAL EUROPE AND THE FORMER SOVIET UNION
Since 1989 the former communist countries have gained increased attention through problems associated with socio-economic transition. This book discusses all the major geographical issues in the context of a global system. The author also assesses the former Soviet Union, plus Eastern Europe.
Since 1989 the former communist countries have gained increased attention through problems associated with the current socio-economic transition. The instability evident in areas like the Caucasus and Former Yugoslavia has drawn the western world into dangerous and uncharted waters; while closer commercial and cultural contacts are providing opportunity for rewarding relationships which seem destined to lead to progressive enlargement of the EU. This book discusses all the major geographical issues in the context of a global system in which any discrete part of the world must be situated. In this new textbook David Turnock assesses the whole of the Former Soviet Union (FSU), plus Eastern Europe, i.e. the seven (or eight if Former GDR is included) former socialist states on the western border of FSU. The whole area is involved in transition away from a system of totalitarian government and central planning. There is great environmental diversity in the area: desert; steppeland; forest; and popular regions. These landscapes are extremely varied in cultural terms. Turnock discusses all the major geographical issues in the context of a global system. Organised into three major sections: Historical Cultural Legacies; Contemporary Human Processes; and Environmental Management, offers a comprehensive introduction to the region for students.
