With "Restructuring Eastern Germany" five spatial research institutes have introduced the first volume of the German Annual of Spatial Research and Policy. Four of these institutes belong to the Leibniz Association: The Academy for Spatial Research and Planning (ARL) in Hannover, the Leibniz Institute for Regional Geography (IfL) in Leipzig, the Leibniz Institute of Ecological and Regional Development (IÖR) in Dresden and the Leibniz Institute for Regional Development and Structural Planning (IRS) in Erkner. The fifth institute is the Federal Office for Building and Regional Planning (BBR) in Bonn. These research institutes have founded this new scientific series with the goal of providing international colleagues with information on an annual basis concerning problems and research results within this current and socially relevant issue in Germany. The combined presentation of issues addressed in articles from these individual institutes is an example of how complementary the respective research approaches and abilities are. This kind of yearbook therefore documents a network which has existed for several years between the institutes in the form of mutual information and trusting research cooperation.

Seven articles within this volume are devoted to a total analysis of spatial structures and processes in eastern Germany as well as the politics of restructuring and specific recommendations for action within the political arena of the Aufbau Ost programme (Economic Reconstruction in the East). Two articles are concerned with the more specific themes of urban developmental policies using examples in eastern Germany. The articles are supplemented by reports of regional structures and regional planning systems in eastern and south-eastern European countries.
