Title:	Regional Diversity and Local Development in the New Member States
Authors:	Bruno Dallago and Paul Blokker:
Keywords:	Regional Diversity
Issue Date:	2009
Publisher:	Palgrave Macmillan
Description:	This book responds to an increased concern among scholars, experts, and policy makers in recent years for regional and local models of development and policies of local intervention, while ‘contextualizing’ this concern by means of the analysis of regionally and locally existing socioeconomic disparities, which constrain or facilitate such local possibilities for development, and by assessing the impact of EU enlargement and European – in particular, regional - policy. The book’s geographical focus is on the new EU Member States of Central and Eastern Europe (including both 2004 and 2007 enlargement countries and Croatia as an accession country). This is for three particular reasons: (i) in general, they have received considerably less attention in the literature on local development than the countries of Western Europe; (ii) few case-studies of the area exist; and (iii) in some cases dynamic and innovative strategies seem to be emerging, under both the influence of European integration and also the relocation of Western European local economic activities.
