South Great Plain – The latest volume of the Regions of the Carpathian Basin published
The latest volume of the series explores socio-economic relations of the South Great Plain Region, through the review of the reviving interregional relations. South Great Plain, encompassing the counties of Bács-Kiskun, Csongrád and Békés is the largest region in Hungary. Szeged, the region’s capital, is the 4th largest town in the region according to population data, its educational institutions and vibrant cultural life place the town in an even more prominent position. Most of its micro regions have emerged as losers of the transition of the past two decades, therefore our book aims to contribute to their catching-up as well. The volume was edited by Gábor Nagy.
