What exactly is spatial inequality? Why does it matter? And what
should be the policy response to it? These questions have become
important in recent years as the spatial dimensions of inequality
have begun to attract considerable policy interest. In China,
Russia, India, Mexico, and South Africa, as well as most other
developing and transition economies, spatial and regional
inequality - of economic activity, incomes, and social indicators -
is on the increase.
Spatial inequality is a dimension of overall inequality, but it
has added significance when spatial and regional divisions align
with political and ethnic tensions to undermine social and
political stability. Also important in the policy debate is a
perceived sense that increasing internal spatial inequality is
related to greater openness of economies, and to globalization in
general.
Despite these important concerns, there is remarkably little
systematic documentation of what has happened to spatial and
regional inequality over the last twenty years. Correspondingly,
there is insufficient understanding of the determinants of internal
spatial inequality.
This volume attempts to answer the questions posed above, drawing
on data from twenty-five countries from all regions of the world.
They bring together perspectives and expertise in development
economics and in economic geography and form a well-researched
introduction to an area of growing analytical and policy
importance.
