Book Platform Presentation at Frankfurt Book Fair 2013


The Book Platform project of Next Page Foundation presents and discusses
ground-breaking research on the book industries of Armenia, Georgia and Ukraine
at Frankfurt Book Fair 2013

But obviously, the many smaller countries, and those on the peripheries from the centres of globalization, look at a challenging future as well. Local publishers and booksellers have to struggle with a difficult economic environment; often enough, a strong neighbouring country competes through regional exports for a culturally fragmented local audience.

At FBF this year we present and discuss pioneering data on the book and translation sectors of three countries of the so called European Neighbourhood area: Armenia, Georgia and Ukraine during
