Another recent geographical essay on regional economic management advocates reestablishment of regional economic councils for the achievement of an optimal spatial division of labor under perestroyka and rationalizing competing economic, nationalistic, and economic objectives (see Soviet Geography, May 1990, pp. 366-374). The author criticizes proposals for the further ethnic-based division of the country and questions the economic viability of the Baltic states' drive toward independence and of a “political” (republic-based) system of khozraschet. He also questions the wisdom of “resource payments” as a means of supplementing the income of localities (translated by Elliott B. Urdang, Providence, RI 02906). From: Izvestiya Vsesoyuznogo Geograficheskogo Obshchestva, 1990, No. 2, pp. 137-143. |
