The last twenty years have seen an increase in European integration
and the emergence of the technological revolution. Although tighter
integration coupled with technological innovation should facilitate
cross-regional convergence, some European regions have managed to
jump ahead while others have been left behind. This book examines
the regional characteristics that favour growth and analyses the
relevance of innovation, socio-economic and structural factors in
shaping regional economic disparities. In this book, particular
attention is devoted to the EU enlargement towards the East, to its
consequences on Europe's traditional North-South divide, and to the
increasing regional disparities in new member states after the
transition. It demonstrates the growing importance of innovation
and human capital in explaining the increase in income and
employment disparities in old EU members, particularly after the
2008 financial crisis. It also shows that for newcomers, regional
disparities are essentially linked to socio-economic factors as
capital regions approach Western standards, while others - mainly
old industrial regions and peripheral ones - lag behind. This book
integrates theoretical discussion with empirical evidence and will
appeal to regional scientists interested in regional inequalities,
and to policy makers concerned with devising effective strategies
to tackle regional disparities in Europe.
