Behind the Myth of European Union - Propects for Cohesion (Paperback, New)

Despite the rhetoric of "unification" and of a "single Europe", Europe is still marked by sharp social and regional disparities. More acutley than ever, Europe faces the dual problem of how to ensure sustained growth and how to combine it with social equity. "Cohesion" is the term coined by the European Community for its aim of reducing the social and regional gap in the European Union. This book explores the potential for cohesion in Europe, assessing the difficulties facing "less favoured" regions in the context of the Community's policies on economic integration and social cohesion, and looking at the wider processes of industrial change in Europe. It argues that current measures which purport to facilitate cohesion will not be adequate, suggesting that the Community's measure for promoting growth and productivity are biased towards the interests of the advanced regions and the major corporations.
