x. Vence-Deza & J.S. Metcalfe U. of Santiago de Compostela
& U. of Manchester This book contains selected papers presented
at the International Congress "European Periphery Facing the New
Century" held in Santiago de Compostela, Galicia, at the end of
1993. The general aim of this congress was to rethink the great
economic and social changes in Europe during the last decade from a
critical view, specially focused on peripheral regions and the
conditions for an enduring process of development. Both economic,
social and political changes affect the characteristic diversity of
Europe and they have a special impact on the countries and regions
that were traditionally known as the periphery within Western
Europe. The list of concerns is long: regions with different levels
of development compete within a new single market; the free
movement of productive factors modifies the traditional pattern of
industrial location, increasing tendencies to regional
concentration shift the balance of income generation; new
competitors enter traditional markets; information technology
creates new possibilities of industrial organization and
cooperation; competitivity is based on different capabilities to
innovate and to promote structural change, and these capabilities
differ among regions; traditional regional policies fail in the
present even more than in the past. Hence the central concern of
this volume, to explore the links between diversity and regional
development.
