Abstract

Post-Soviet Geography and Economics, affiliated with the Kennan Institute for Advanced Russian Studies, will publish timely, original papers in geography and economics covering all states of the former USSR, Central and Eastern Europe, and the socialist countries of Asia. Also published from time to time will be papers on related subjects (e.g., demography, ethnic studies) that have a pronounced spatial element and/or significant economic content. Special features such as essays and comments by senior Western specialists, as well as brief research reports and communications transmitting data on current, rapidly changing developments, will appear in the journal as well. Such brief reports and communications, generally up to 3,000 words in length, will analyze significant new information highlighting the geographic and economic environments in the former USSR, Central and Eastern Europe, and the socialist countries of Asia. Back-volume tables of contents illustrating the range of topics covered over the last few years, along with selected abstracts, may be reviewed on the Bellwether Publishing website at www.bellpub.com/psge/. All manuscripts must be submitted in Post-Soviet Geography and Economics format (see below). Manuscripts may be submitted in either electronic, or hard copy (paper), format. Hard copy submissions must be typewritten (word-processed), triple-spaced, on one side only of white bond paper, 8V2 x 11 inches in size, with ample margins.
