The main topic discussed is the change of spatial organization during the period of transition from a centrally planned to a market economic system. The economic reforms start, cause some temporal perturbations and conflicts then effect changes
in the location and linkage patterns, hierarchical transformations and shifts in the spatial structure of the economy.

Both the EEC and the world farm markets are in a constant state of flux and can be subject to relatively sharp changes at short notice. The resolutions of the Council of Farm Ministers also produce rapid and radical changes in the markets (e.g
. the milk quota scheme). Increasing regulation of the markets is making it increasingly difficult to keep track of development. This study is designed to help here. - (L'A.).

the notion of cultural economy should include complex interactions between the material activities of consumers and producers, and the discursive worlds of image makers and place marketers. Urban renewal, housing market pressures and intra-regional migration

There is nothing surprising about regional inequality. Markets are inherently restless. Prosperity can be cumulative. Any tendency to regional convergence may owe much to non-market forces - tax and public expenditure patterns which benefit poorer

This paper uses a regime-switching approach to determine whether prices in the US stock, direct real estate and indirect real estate markets are driven by the presence of speculative bubbles. The results show significant evidence of the existence
of periodically partially collapsing speculative bubbles in all three markets. A multivariate bubble model is then developed and implemented to evaluate whether the stock andreal estate bubbles spill over into REITs. The underlying stock market bubble is found
to be a stronger influence on the securitised real estate market bubble than that of the property market. Furthermore, the findings suggest a transmission of speculative bubbles from the direct real estate to the stock market, although this link is not present
Sans sous-estimer les avantages de compétitivité et d'accès aux marchés, il ne faut pas oublier certains effets indirects tels que l'innovation technologique, les économies d'échelle non techniques et la coopération industrielle. Dans le contexte
plus large de la globalisation de l'économie, ces effets risquent de défavoriser les régions les moins développées. Définition de la stratégie économique la plus appropriée aux différents types de régions industrielles.

The AA. argue that, given the complexity of property market process (the disparate nature of market actors and institutions, the constraints imposed by the built environment), simple adaptative adjustment is unlikely to take place. These factors can
be expected to play an important part in shaping urban growth and development outcomes. The AA. propose a property market paradigm of urban change and examine its relevance in the context of six major European urban regions. This approach can provide a more
The marketing of the tourist site is an activity pursued by local authorities with a view to attracting producers from the outside who are interested in spending their money in the tourism sector. The investment in tourist facilities is often
the only chance many local communities have to stimulate the development of their economies and improve the quality of life of inhabitants. This paper is concerned with Płock, a town whose authorities have focused on the development of tourism
as an instrument by which to drive the urban economy. Płock has many interesting and valuable tourist attractions, as well as a large number of tourists visiting it every year. The number of both attractions and tourists is quite sufficient to attract investors
. The paper shows how the use of methods in the marketing of a tourist site can allow authorities to plan to arouse producer' interest in being involved in the development of the tourism product of Płock. - (BJ)
