Dependent Growth by Petr Pavlínek is an academic study of how the automotive industry in East-Central Europe changed after state socialism, especially during the 1990s and 2000s. The book belongs to economic geography, development studies, and industrial restructuring, with a strong focus on foreign direct investment, multinational corporations, and state policy. Pavlínek examines why countries such as those in the East-Central European region became major automotive production sites and why this growth, despite creating jobs and exports, remained structurally dependent on foreign ownership and decision making. The book uses empirical research and conceptual tools from global production networks and peripheral integration to assess both the achievements and constraints of this development model. Its purpose is not simply to describe industrial expansion, but to evaluate who benefited, how domestic firms were affected, and whether foreign-led growth produced durable technological and regional upgrading.
