The impulse response approach to the study of shocks served as a methodological basis. The authors propose and test a new methodological approach that consists in identifying regions characterized by persistent development or a potential for changing the gross regional product as a response to an external shock impulse. It also allows to determine resonant factors that affect the vulnerability, depth and scale of economic consequences. The study reveals that an external institutional shock influences the economic development of regions in various ways, which is due to a number of vulnerability factors. This leads to the formation of territories that differ in the level of susceptibility to shocks and possess the ability to maintain the trend of economic development.

    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-03407-5 — The Cambridge History of the Second World War Edited by Richard Bosworth , Joseph Maiolo Frontmatter More Information THE CAMBRIDGE HISTORY OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR War is often described as an extension of politics by violent means. With contributions from twenty-eight eminent historians, Volume ii of The Cambridge History of the Second World War examines the relationship between ideology and politics in the war’s origins, dynamics and consequences. Part i examines the ideologies of the combatants and shows how the war can be understood as a struggle of words, ideas and values, with the rival powers expressing divergent claims to justice and controlling news from the front in order to sustain morale and influence international opinion. Part ii looks at politics from the perspective of pre-war and wartime diplomacy, as well as examining the way in which neutrals were treated and behaved. The volume con- cludes by assessing the impact of states, politics and ideology on the fate of individuals as occupied and liberated peoples, collabor- ators and resistors, and as British and French colonial subjects. Richard J. B. Bosworth is Senior Research Fellow at Jesus College, Oxford. Joseph A. Maiolo is Professor of International History in the Department of War Studies at King’s College London and Visiting Research Professor at the Norwegian Defence Intelli- gence School, Oslo. © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-03407-5 — The Cambridge History of the Second World War Edited by Richard Bosworth , Joseph Maiolo Frontmatter More Information THE CAMBRIDGE HISTORY OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR GENERAL EDITOR evan mawdsley, Honorary Professorial Research Fellow and formerly Professor of International History at the University of Glasgow.
