*Coauthors have contributed equally and are listed in alphabetical order. We thank Lianne Oakes, Cindy Buckley, Christopher Chase-Dunn, Robert Denemark, Bohdan Jalowiecki, George Kish, John Liu, Linda Miller, Dorothy Solinger, and two anonymous reviewers for comments on earlier drafts. Some of the data referred t o in this text were collected and analysed while Michael Kennedy was on a grant from the Joint Committee on Eastern Europe of the American Council of Learned Societies and Social Science Research Council. Versions of this paper were presented at the Southern Sociological Society annual meeting in 1987 and the University of California, Irvine faculty seminar on ‘The State’. East central European urbanization have their roots in the region’s past, the bulk of the paper employs an international political economy perspective to explain the historical trajectory of east central European city growth. Our review of postrevolutionary urban policies in these countries finds that they reinforce east central Europe’s semi-peripheral historical legacy. In the conclusion we return to the questions posed at the outset, reflect on the adequacy of our theoretical approach applied to east central Europe, and discuss the lessons these empirical cases provide for further theorizing about urbanization and social change.
