Journal of European Economy, Volume 2, Issue 3, September 2003, pp. 326-339
| JEL: -- | Full text (PDF) |

Therefore, a problem of precise time- and space-priority determination as well as appropriate economic mechanisms’ elaboration acquires special significance and relevance for Eastern European countries. The integration of Eastern European countries based on the formation of common innovation and investment network should be considered as a way of multipolar development model realization for a macro-region, based on the combination of interests of small integrated regions. Key words: Centrifugal tendencies, competitive advantages, European integration, formal and real integration, interregional cooperation, macroeconomic indices, national economy, new regionalism. |
