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.
'This book brings together contributions from researchers based in the UK and Ukraine on the economic development of the Donbas region. Its importance is clear for the study of post-communist transition' - Martin Myant, University of the West of Scotland (2008)
'For those who have a theory, this book will provide a great deal of detailed analysis of a key region in Ukraine' - Slavic Review, Fall 2008, Vol.67, No.3
