This book aims to provide the first major appraisal of transport resources and developments in Eastern and Central Europe following the collapse of the Warsaw Pact. As market economies emerge and the eastern-ward focus of transport systems becomes increasingly reversed, a timely review is necessary to assess how its often heavily subsidized, antiquated and bureaucratic system can cope with new and urgent demands. Following a broad introduction to the main issues, the book develops the main themes confronting the region's transport - modernization, privatization, new markets, destinations and routes and wider European integration. Region-wide overviews are interspersed with authoritative and detailed national or sectoral surveys dealing with complex topics like the impact of German unification of tourism. The books concludes with a research agenda for the future.
Since the pre-accession phases, the Member States located in Central and Eastern Europe have been receiving EU funding to be invested in transport infrastructure. These investments have improved connectivity and accessibility in these Member States substantially. This note shows, however, that gaps remain. It also analyses how current policy instruments could contribute to close such gaps, and how this policy could be improved.
As the countries of Central and Eastern Europe undergo radical economic upheavals, the question of pan-European transport is examined in this Round Table.
