Originally published in 1973. At that time, imbalance in the
economic performance of regions had become of increasing concern to
politicians and economists in many European counties. British
policy was of particular interest: not only because the changes of
the 1960s made it more comprehensive than in most other countries;
but as some sort of regional policy had been in operation for more
than thirty years, many lessons could be learned from its
evolution. This book provides a comprehensive study of this aspect
of British policy. It starts by outlining the nature of the British
regional problem, the case for a policy and the contribution of
economic theory to the understanding of the regional question. In
later Parts the development of British policy up to 1967 is
described along with its impact on the performance of individual
regions and different measures are evaluated with a view to
increasing the effectiveness of policy. The final chapter outlines
the regional policy of the European Economic Community and shows
what effect membership would have on British policy.
