Abstract

The regional impact of the changes in Federal budgetary expenditures has received little attention from scholars of the former Soviet Union. This article argues that the donor nations should instead strive to provide a “package” of assistance to defense-dependent regions, taking into account such issues as employment generation and the development of small and medium enterprises, the quality of telecommunications, infrastructure, and the environment and the ability of local governments to finance and manage the social assets of restructured enterprises.
