Comparing Regional Development in the Baltic States International and
Interdisciplinary Workshop in Riga, University of Latvia February 01-
03, 2007
Call for Papers
For the last 15 years (since the independence from the former USSR)
the process of socio-economic transition has changed the regional
structures in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania fundamentally. The
workshop s goal is to summarise the main results of these regional
trends by comparing various aspects in different spatial categories
(major urban agglomerations as well as rural areas). The workshop
organisers are going to apply for funding in order to minimise the
cost for participation. Geographers, urban and regional planners,
sociologists, political scientists and economists are kindly invited
to present their papers on trends of regional development in the
Baltic States concerning the following topics:
Ø socio-economic disparities in regional growth
Ø demographic aspects
Ø efforts and results in sustainable development
Ø regional effects of human capital and innovations
Ø impact of regional (planning) policies and the EU Ø strategies
of regional governance
Ø changes in cultural landscapes
Ø urban development and urban regions
- the three capitals and their hinterland
- changes in small and medium-sized towns
Ø transition in rural areas
Ø tourism
Ø changes in the main industrial areas (incl. the energy sector)
Ø new economic clusters in high-ranking services
