| Tiivistelmä: | In this paper, the role of the environment in Central and Eastern European states is examined by pursuing the incompatibility btw. the economic development needed to maintain the democratic institutions already in place, and the crisis levels of environmental degradation in so many areas of Eastern and Central Europe (CEE). It is believed that costs of reversing environmental damages in these areas, and the implementation of sustainable development technologies and policies, are that great that the Eastern European states will not be able to meet them, which may lead to further decline in the environmental quality in both CEE and the EU. The ability to impact the EU's environment could be the major factor in a decision by the EU to implement environmental taxes against these states. As a result, it is raised the possibility that Russia may provide an alternative to the EU in the formation of an economically based bloc, with implications for trade, environment and security issues. |
