Conclusions on the Reforms to the Regional and Urban Policy in the European Union Bibliography IndexReviews'Professor Philip McCann has contributed to a revival of regional and urban economics. His ideas and research have stimulated views about how regions and cities grow, and also how they can be better governed. He offers here another major contribution to improved regional policy design. By its scale and scope, EU regional policy reform merits a thorough and enlightening analysis such as this. This is an important book by one of the finest scholars in the field.' - Joaquim Oliveira Martins, Head of OECD Regional Policy Division, France 'Geographical economics has come a long way in the past two decades. It has generated new ways of thinking about how to improve development in less-favoured cities and regions, in the context of a commitment to enjoying the advantages of trade and the mobility of people and knowledge. Philip McCann's magisterial analysis of one of the most ambitious efforts ever undertaken in this area - the EU Cohesion Policy - argues powerfully for a new way forward based on respecting the different starting points of cities and regions and mobilizing their potential, and yet doing so with rigorous respect for efficiency and openness.' - Michael Storper, London School of Economics, UK ‘. . . Philip McCann has provided an outstanding book on current trends and future prospects of EU Cohesion policy. The book deserves our attention because of the scope and variety of its coverage.’ -- Annals of Regional Science ‘Professor Philip McCann has contributed to a revival of regional and urban economics.

It is a useful reader in general discussions of theory and particularly for those interested in innovation and smart specialization. It is exhaustively sourced. As noted earlier, it is especially authoritative and well-informed. The writing style is deliberate, logical, and well-ordered.' -- Polymath: An Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences Journal Author InformationPhilip McCann, Chair in Urban and Regional Economics, The Productivity Institute, Alliance Manchester Business School, University of Manchester, UK Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
