内容説明

In recent years, interregional co-operation has emerged as a powerful instrument for the promotion of European integration. Interregional networks are now found throughout Europe, both in developed and in economically-lagging regions, and they link regions inside and outside the European Community. There are several reasons why they have been created: as a means of overcoming national barriers; of promoting regional development in peripheral regions; of reinforcing the power of local government; and, in the case of former socialist countries, of strengthening democratic institutions and encouraging political stability. This volume contains an analysis of the experience to date of interregional networks by drawing together a collection of specially commissioned papers by European experts in which interregional co-operation is examined from both a geographical and a functional perspective. What role do borders play as barriers and interfaces between the various countries and regions? What will be the effect of removing these barriers? What economic justification is there for interregional co-operation? In other papers the institutional and organizational characteristics of interregional networks in different parts of Europe are examined, and the experience in a number of policy fields analyzed. The material contained in this collection represents the most comprehensive account of interregional co-operation to date, and adds substantially to the understanding of the factors that contribute to its successful development.
