“…Importantly, after a steep decline of their population in the 1990s, diverging demographic processes have begun to take shape in the post-millennial development of regional centres of several countries, with the majority qualifying as "small big cities" with a population of 100 to 200 thousand (Páthy, 2017;Rechnitzer & Páthy, 2022). However, studies examining the major trends of polarization in the urban network in selected CEE countries (Csizmadia & Páthy, 2010;Dogaru et al, 2014;Berkes, 2020;Korcelli & Olejniczak, 2021) do not necessarily confirm positive developments for second-tier city regions, undermining their networked FDI-based development due to a lack of knowledge assets and critical size. Moreover, the socio-spatial transformation processes of the city regions themselves are indicative of heteropolitanization (Gentile et al, 2012;Neugebauer & Kovács, 2015) understood as the growing prevalence of socially, economically, culturally and spatially heterogeneous and complex urban spaces.…”

Despite its normative goals of deepening interstate integration, 'de-bordering' European societies and promoting a greater degree of territorial cohesion, the European Union remains a highly and intricately bordered space. Economic bordering within the EU involves the investigation of the geoeconomic relationships that have emerged as a result of global market re-integration and EU membership of postsocialist states during the economic transition of Central and South-Eastern Europe. The objective of this paper is to provide a comprehensive review of the transformation processes of the Central and South-Eastern European region.

“…It is noted that the FDI produces social tensions and opportunities for protest in developing countries (Robertson & Teitelbaum, 2011). FDI did not prevent the growth of unemployment in the post-communist countries of Central and Eastern European Economies and moreover, may even increase the fall in employment in the industry of these countries, or improve the situation in the metropolitan regions, while strengthening the problems of peripheral regions (Onaran, 2008;Dogaru et al, 2014;Decreuse & Maarek, 2015).…”

Research background: There has been an extensive process of foreign and joint ownership enterprises establishment in the Russian economy since 2006. Domestic manufacturing industry has been experiencing certain pressure on behalf of foreign direct investment bringing new technologies and higher labor requirements. Purpose of the article: The aim of this paper is to investigate differences in employment strategies and labor indicators in the case of enterprises in foreign and joint ownership (FJO) and domestic enterprises in Russian ownership (RO). We analyze the manufacturing industry in Russia and its regions under conditions of stable and crisis periods. Methods: The study enhances the analysis of Rosstat’s statistical data for 2005–2016 and applies ANOVA method to compare the employment results for companies with different ownership patterns. The research is carried out both at the national level of the Russian Federation and at the regional level according to the regions. Findings & Value added: The study identifies significant decline in employment and in-crease in productivity for the period of 2005–2016. In contrast to the crisis of 2008–2009, in 2014–2016 there has been no sharp drop in employment. However, there is a substantial decline in real salaries which is comparable to the crisis of 2008-2009. According to ANOVA, statistically significant differences in labor indicators between FJO and RO companies are manifested. RO companies dominate in employment and payroll funds, while FJO enter-prises have better productivity results with a higher average salary. FJO companies demonstrated faster growth in employment and payroll fund in relatively stable conditions (2012–2013). However, they reacted with a significant reduction in employment for a new crisis (2014–2016), although the creation of new FJO enterprises continued in separate regions of Russia. The results can be used in social policy to regulate the employment and earnings of industrial workers in the current economic conditions.
