Download or read book East European Transport Regions and Modes written by B. Mieczkowski and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the fast-growing East European economies, a parti cularly important role falls to the transport systems that are called upon to move an ever-rising volume of goods and a con stantly increasing number of passengers. Gaining new insights into the problems that face those transport systems, into their achievements, and into some still unanswered questions is therefore highly interesting and--in terms of world experience --essential. The transportation systems of Eastern Europe operate within a centrally planned environment, but they serve dif ferent types of economies, from highly advanced East Germany and Czechoslovakia to the still industrializing Romania and Bulgaria. They have to satisfy fairly diversified transport needs: they operate within systems that have adopted different scales of political and economic priorities and different methods and forms of achieving them politically--from the faithful Soviet shadow-state of East Germany to the indepen dence-seeking Romania and Yugoslavia and, economically, from the traditionally strict authoritarian form of Romania that seeks industrialization and state power to the New Economic Mechanism of Hungary and the decentralization of Yugoslavia. Also, unlike the Soviet Union, the East European transport sys tems cover relatively small territories whose external connec tions differ from one another in scope and in modes. In addi tion, the transport systems of Eastern Europe have been called upon to accomplish feats of steeply rising performance with x infrastructures and equipment supported by miserly allocations.

Download or read book Sur les routes de l Est written by Klaus Schameitat and published by . This book was released on 2018-01-05 with total page 820 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'ancien bloc de l'Est s'étendait de l'Allemagne de l'Est jusqu'à la Russie, des pays baltes jusqu'au Caucase, de la Pologne jusqu'à la Yougoslavie. La production automobile, spécialement adaptée au mauvais état du réseau routier, a engendrée des millions de véhicules très robustes : des voitures, des 4x4, des camions, des bus. On se souvient des marques telles que Dacia, Trabant, Wartburg, Lada, Skoda, Moskvitch, GAZ, ZIL, TAM, Volga, Fiat-Polski, Ikarus, Zastava. Après la fin de l'Union soviétique et jusque dans les années 2010, ces voitures sont restées des témoins d'une période révolue, visibles sur toutes les routes des pays de l'Est. Ces voitures multicolores tendent aujourd'hui à disparaître du décor, à l'exception des rares modèles de collection. Le mérite de l'auteur Klaus Schameitat, dont les premiers voyages en Europe de l'Est remontent aux années 1970, réside dans le fait qu'il a documenté par la photo – d'abord argentique puis numérique – toute la diversité de la mobilité motorisée des pays qu'il a visités. Diplômé de géographie, Schameitat a également documenté les scènes de la vie quotidienne. Les légendes de ses photos reflètent la précision du travail réalisé par l'identification des modèles et la description des lieux. D'une oeuvre initiale de 2000 photos, l'éditeur a retenu 820 clichés qui illustrent de façon unique ce qui autrement serait tombé dans l'oubli. Les photos de véhicules, regroupées par pays et réparties sur 20 chapitres, sont aérées par des images pittoresques de paysages urbains et ruraux. Le lecteur part ainsi à la découverte de l'histoire de la mobilité d'un demi-continent avec ses aspects variés et souvent surprenant. Les brefs textes introductifs et les légendes compactes donnent de façon précise toutes les informations nécessaires. En annexe on trouvera une liste d'explications relatives aux abréviations ainsi qu'aux noms des marques et des modèles. Les pays suivants sont représentés dans ce livre : Russie (y compris Kaliningrad), Ukraine (y compris la Crimée), Moldavie (y compris la Transnistrie), Géorgie, Estonie, Lettonie, Lituanie, Allemagne de l'Est (ex-RDA), Pologne, République tchèque et Slovaquie (ex-Tchécoslovaquie), Hongrie, Roumanie, Bulgarie, Albanie, ex-Yougoslavie (Macédoine, Monténégro, Serbie, Croatie, Slovénie). Au début de chaque chapitre se trouve une carte qui permet de localiser le pays abordé.
Download or read book Eastern European Railways in Transition written by Henry Jacolin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-29 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the nineteenth century, railway lines spread rapidly across Europe, linking the continent in ways unimaginable to previous generations. By the beginning of the twentieth century the great cities of the continent were linked by a complex and extensive rail network. Yet this high-point of interconnectivity, was abruptly cut-off after 1945, as the Cold War built barriers - both physical and ideological - between east and west. In this volume, leading transport history scholars take a fresh look at this situation, and the ramifications it had for Europe. As well as addressing the parallel development of railways either side of the Iron Curtain, the book looks at how transport links have been reconnected and reconfigured in the twenty years since the reunification of Europe. In particular, it focuses upon the former communist countries and how they have responded to the challenges and opportunities railways offer both nationally and internationally. Including contributions from historians, researchers, policy makers, representatives of railway companies and railway museum staff, the essays in this collection touch upon a rich range of subjects. Divided into four sections: 'The Historical Overview', 'Under Russian Protection', After the Fall of the Iron Curtain, and 'The Heritage of Railways in Eastern Europe' the volume offers a broadly chronological introduction to the issue, that provides both a snap-shot of current debates and a starting point for further research. It concludes that in an era of increased globalisation and interconnectivity - and despite the rise of air and road transport and virtual methods of communication - railways still have a crucial role to play in the development of a prosperous and connected Europe.

Download or read book Transport Issues and Problems in Southeastern Europe written by Caralampo Focas and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The collapse of previous command economic structures in Eastern Europe has led to an often chaotic reorganization of transport operations. Southeastern Europe in particular not only lags behind the western EU countries in terms of transport infrastructure, but also in terms of management and policy. However, despite this, or perhaps even because there are no long-standing established patterns, this region is a fertile territory for innovation. Based on the first major international conference dealing with transport issues in Southeastern Europe, this edited volume brings together key researchers and policy makers to discuss and critically analyse these innovations. Focusing on issues related to privatization and harmonization of national legislation, the contributors also address the countries' struggle with inadequate management structures and the challenges posed in running shipping, ports and railways in a region fragmented into numerous nations and states. It not only provides an up-to-date overview of transport operations and planning in Southeastern Europe, but also provides more general insights into recent and current developments in a region that has undergone widespread upheavals in the past two decades, and is now experiencing renewed growth.
Download or read book East European Change and Shipping Policy written by Gillian Ledger and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-02-16 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1996, this work begins by considering the changes that have taken place in the social, political and economic environment of Eastern Europe as a whole and then concentrates upon the shipping market with reference to Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic and Hungary.

Download or read book Transport and Economic Development in the New Central and Eastern Europe written by Derek R. Hall and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
