Professor Philip McCann has contributed to a revival of regional
and urban economics. His ideas and research have stimulated views
about how regions and cities grow, and also how they can be better
governed. He offers here another major contribution to improved
regional policy design. By its scale and scope, EU regional policy
reform merits a thorough and enlightening analysis such as this.
This is an important book by one of the finest scholars in the
field.' - Joaquim Oliveira Martins, Head of OECD Regional Policy
Division, France'Geographical economics has come a long way in the
past two decades. It has generated new ways of thinking about how
to improve development in less-favoured cities and regions, in the
context of a commitment to enjoying the advantages of trade and the
mobility of people and knowledge. Philip McCann's magisterial
analysis of one of the most ambitious efforts ever undertaken in
this area - the EU Cohesion Policy - argues powerfully for a new
way forward based on respecting the different starting points of
cities and regions and mobilizing their potential, and yet doing so
with rigorous respect for efficiency and openness.' - Michael
Storper, London School of Economics, UK The regional and urban
development policy of the European Union, or more precisely, EU
Cohesion Policy, is undergoing change. This development is driven
by the enormous transformations in European regions and by shifts
in thinking and analysis. The issues raised by the changes to
regional and urban development policy in Europe span many academic
disciplines and build on different research methodologies. A broad
approach is required in order to address these issues and this book
explicitly incorporates insights from a range of different
disciplines. After examining the major regional and urban features
of the European economy and discussing the analytical underpinnings
of the current re-design to EU Cohesion Policy, the book also aims
to provide a road map of the various EU regional and urban
data-sources which are available to researchers and policy-makers.
This volume is aimed at all economists, geographers, regional
scientists, spatial planners, transportation scientists,
sociologists, urban studies researchers, environmental scholars,
political scientists and policy-analysts who are interested in
regional and urban issues. Contents: Preface 1. The Backdrop to EU
