More than a decade after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the cities and regions of the former socialist countries are still in a phase of transition. The different political, social and cultural paths of their development are bringing up the question whether it is still adequate to qualify them as "post-socialist". How long will this "post" be of any meaning? This book discusses the differences and similarities of cities in Central and Eastern Europe on their way into the globalized world.

The Editor: Frank Eckardt is Junior Professor for the Sociology of Globalization and works as an urban sociologist at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar.
