Convergence, Dualism and Regional Disparities: The Italian Case

Chapter 11 in Spatial Dynamics of European Integration, 1999, pp 197-208 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The debate on convergence of regions and states in Europe has recently been boosted both by historical events (the EU integration process, the reunification of Germany and the CEE transition process) and by renewed interest in the mechanisms of economic growth. This interest has been stimulated by new approaches emphasising endogenous growth and by the theory of the location process (see Krugman 1995). The main question concerns whether or not a ‘catching-up’ process is in progress, and also the nature of the transition pattern.
