Abstract
A U.S. geographer analyzes the relationship between Hungarian highway accessibility and regional development from the demise of Communism to macro-economic stability of the late 1990s. Nodal accessibility is correlated with economic variables using early and late transition-era data. Transportation facilities, particularly controlled-access highways, are key components of European Union (EU) expansion strategy; therefore the EU provides much of the infrastructure financing in central and eastern European countries. The study analyzes compatibility of the EU's international agenda with goals of national growth and regional development in countries on the economic frontier of post-industrial Europe.
