The Regions and the European Community (1993) analyses the role of sub-national institutions in the regional economic development process in the EC’s less-developed countries: Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Spain and Italy. The advantages and disadvantages of the European single market are examined, as are the impacts of the EC’s sectoral policies on the alleviation of regional disparities and an in-depth analysis of the Integrated Mediterranean Programme.
