It assesses the difficulties facing Less Favoured Regions in the context of the Community's policies on economic integration and social cohesion and the wider processes of industrial change in Europe. It argues that current measures which purport to facilitate cohesion will not be adequate. At the book's core lies a critique of the prevailing neo-liberal growth philosophy which uncouples the link between economic efficiency and social equity. |

| Publisher Description: The vision of the original arhitects of the European Community was to create a Europe of economic prosperity and social harmony. Economic integration has come ever closer, but sustained growth and a reduction in social disparities seen as far away as ever. This book examines the prospects for the real cohesion in Europe and find that, far from promroting it, many of the Community's current policies are divisive. The neo-liberal philosophy at the moment is producing policies which favour relatively wealthy regions and major corporations at the expense of less favoured regions and peoples. |
