Synopsis

Pim Kooij en Richard Paping (eds.)

This volume is a sequel to Historia Agriculturae 28. Both volumes publish the results of the Dutch-Russian project on regional development in a comparative perspective, sponsored by the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research NWO. The main pivot is once again demographic development in four regions: the Groningen clay area and the eastern part of North-Brabant in the Netherlands,
and the Yaroslavl and Tambov regions in Russia. This volume also deals with some extra regions, thanks to the co-operation of research groups in St Petersburg and Wageningen. The book starts with new results of cohort analyses. The convergence of demographic patterns is confirmed in some contributions, but unfortunately the pattern is not as uniform as one would wish.

Taking the demographic domain as the starting point, we try to explore other domains of society, especially economic and social ones. Once again, this approach reveals that using the same theories, methods, and computer programs leads to highly comparable results.
