Since the formal raising of the Iron Curtain, there has been much interest in Post-Socialism and the process of Post-Socialist transition. This book provides a systematic review and analysis of the process of transition. It explores concepts and debates, provides accounts of Post-Socialist transitions around the world, and examines case studies.

The authors challenge academic debate that is reluctant to cross disciplinary boundaries and thus offer more relevant answers to the new phenomenon of international city action, and how it weakens the traditional prerogative of the state as primary actor in the international realm.

'Borders' have attracted considerable attention in public and academic debates in light of the impact of globalisation and, in Europe, the end of the divisions of the Cold War era. This book adopts a symbiotic approach to the analysis of borders, drawing on a political-economy perspective.

Governance of Europe's City Regions is a structured overview of current debates on cities and regions. It clarifies contemporary debates about regionalism and contributes new insights into the theory of 'new regionalism'.
