Abstract

The Russian and Soviet governments believed the border to be a social and political construct. They often described and considered it as a foreign policy issue and a point of military vulnerability. In the course of 70 years of Sino-Russian relations since 1949, the border turned from a porous imperial fringe to a line of defense, a zone of economic growth, and a zone of economic anxiety. Throughout this evolution process, the Russian central government failed to grant agency to the local authorities and indigenous communities. The article argues that the current Russian federal government entrusts the local government with two conflicting goals in the borderlands: building strong cross-border ties and maintaining a "strong vertical of power" with top-down management and absolute supremacy of national security matters.

Abstract

Cold War Eastern Europe (CEE) provides access to files from the political departments of the U.K. Foreign Office, including embassies and consulates, located within countries of the Former Soviet Union. CEE consists of three modules, that together, cover the years 1953-1975 and include approximately 13,700 source files. CEE contains historical essays written by its editorial board; a timeline and facts files on communism and key people supplement content. The CEE platform is intuitive for users who have background in searching other Taylor & Francis collections such as the Secret Files from World Wars to Cold War; less experienced searchers may require training and assistance with certain features. Pricing was not available at the time of this review. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

This paper applies the 'time lag' method to a set of social and economic indicators, examining the development of Central and Eastern Europe since the first world war. Originally used to assess technology diffusion, this method allows comparison of levels of development between states and through a long period of time. It presents how many years have elapsed between achieving a certain level of development between countries. The results show that the countries of Central and Eastern Europe have only narrowly converged with a set of 23 highly-developed 'benchmark' states. Development in monetary terms (gross domestic product per capita) is the indicator where this region lags most. Employment structure, life expectancy or infant mortality show much smaller lags. Communist states were closest to the West in the 1960s-early 1970s and struggled thereafter. They are still mostly lagging more today than at their peak before transformation despite the progress achieved in absolute terms after the fall of centrally-planned economy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
