Regional Development in the European Economic Community (1962) examines the considerable disparities in economic development between the various regions in the original six countries of the EEC. It considers the principles basic to regional policies in general, how far in fact they are influenced by social and how far by economic reasons. Two of the less-developed regions of the Community, Southern Italy and South West France, are then discussed in detail and the various schemes put forward for their development are described and analysed.
