Regional Crisis: the State and Regional Social Movements in Southern Europe

  • Chapter
Book cover The Crises of the European Regions

Abstract

The main concern of this chapter is to discuss the political implications of uneven regional development in southern Europe. A major thesis underlying this concern is that the present conjuncture suggests the increasing importance of the political element in the formation of the so-called ‘regional crisis’: a few regions only are favoured, leaving behind most of them, despite all the efforts and resources that are mobilised to rectify these conditions and re-establish spatial equilibrium.
