The pursuit of economic growth is at the top of every nation's policy agenda at the end of the 20th century.

Issues examined include:the evolution of the firm and the role of R&Dlong-term implications of the loss of national sovereigntyinternational 'openness'social and political institutionspatterns of regional harmonization in the United States, particularly income and earnings trends across states and the reasons for convergencepersistent regional disparities in Europe including the roles of sectoral transformation, regional spillovers, human capital formation and the allocation of structural fundsthe experience of convergence in individual countries including Italy, the UK, Spain and Germany

Recensioner i media

'. . . this is an interesting book containing on the whole respectable well-tried approaches typical of the mid-to-late 1990s and addressing serious issues of real practical concern to human welfare, rather than being an expose of avant-garde innovations in methodology or theory. . . the contributions are well written and accessible, so that the book could profitably be used as supplementary reading by advanced students of regional economics, regional science or quantitative economic geography. The editors and authors, have made a significant and important contribution.'
