Rural development and regional disparities of the new EU Member States
نویسنده
چکیده
The integration of central and Eastern Europe into both the European and the world economy was in the last decade associated with a relatively high growth of gross domestic product and with a gradual increase in the economic level. The processes of convergence at the national level, however, were accompanied by an unbalanced spatial development. The paper analyzes, on the basis of the empirical statistical data, the impacts of the first years of the membership in the European Union on the development of regional differentiation and on development disparities between rural and urban regions. The evaluation of regional development is performed in regional units at the levels nUTS 2 and nUTS 3. rural regions are monitored at the level of regional units nUTS 3. The examination based on the nUTS 2 units would not allow identifying of such a large number of rural areas.
