Description :
Location theorists have categorised border regions as disadvantaged, and this proposition is tested. Using data primarily at a planning region level, the analysis demonstrates not only the presence of significant divergences across the inner-German frontier, but also the existence of shared and fundamental geographical characteristics. The former are creating enormous pressures in the short term, but the latter will have an important bearing on the longer-term adjustment of these borderlands to their new role.
