Publisher's Synopsis
Regional Policy in the European Community (1980) presents a structured overview of regional incentives and policy in the European Community countries, set in the context of the regional problem in those countries. Four main policy elements can be isolated in EEC countries: infrastructure investment; the use of state-owned or state-controlled firms to help develop problem regions; the use of disincentives in regions under pressure; and regional incentive expenditure. This book treats each of the EEC countries systematically, examining the problem - the development of policy, the incentives and a comparison with other countries.
