Abstract: A review of "Regional Policy - Theory and Practice," edited by Ugo Fratesi and published by Routledge in 2024. This textbook provides a comprehensive and systematic overview of regional policy, addressing its theoretical foundations and practical challenges worldwide. Structured into four parts, the book explores the characterization, aims, and rationale of regional policy; issues of implementation and available policymaking instruments; evaluation methodologies, including statistics and modeling; and the application of regional policy in various contexts. Each chapter incorporates real-life examples, practical applications, and advanced topics for deeper exploration. With its extensive coverage, the book serves as an essential resource for advanced students, researchers, and practitioners in regional policy, economics, geography, planning, and public policy.
