中世纪晚期中东欧经济的快速发展与其欧洲地位

The Rapid Economic Development of Eastern Europe and Its European Status in the Late Middle Ages

中世纪早期,由于一系列不利因素的影响,中东欧地区的经济发展比较缓慢。从13世纪起,中东欧的经济发展充满了生机与活力。中世纪晚期中东欧经济迅速增长,其关键在于成功地采用西方制度,模仿西方发展模式。当然,这一时期贸易的发展、外国移民,以及14、15世纪西欧经济、社会危机期间为中东欧提供的良好机遇等,对中东欧经济增长的促进作用也不可忽视。经济的快速发展成就了诸多中东欧强国,大大缩短了中东欧与西欧之间的经济差距,中东欧或多或少能与欧洲的其他部分平起平坐了。

In the early Middle Ages, the economic development of Central and Eastern Europe was slow due to a series of adverse factors. Since the thirteenth Century, the economic development of Central and Eastern Europe has been full of vigor and vitality. In the late Middle Ages, the economy of Central and Eastern Europe grew rapidly. The key was to adopt the Western system successfully and imitated the Westem development model. Of course, the development of trade and foreign immigrants in this period as well as the good opportunities provided to Central and Eastem Europe during Western European Economic and social crisis in the 14th and 15th centuries cannot be ignored for the promotion of economic growth in Central and Eastern Europe. The rapid development of economic achievements of many Eastern European countries in late Middle Ages greatly shortened the economic gap between Middle ＆ Eastern Europe and Western Europe so that Middle ＆ Eastern Europe could be more or less on an equal footing with other parts of Europe.
