Resumen de European Regional Policy and Development: Forgotten Regions and Spaces

María del Carmen Sánchez Carreira (coord.), Paulo Reis Mourâo (coord.), Bruno Blanco Varela (coord.)

• The shortcomings of traditional regional policies led to a major policy. Thus, regions have become more active in the design and implementation of policies, following a bottom-up approach and involving the participation of the local community in strategic planning, as opposed to the traditional top-down method. This book addresses regional development theories and policies, with a special focus on forgotten places, and raises emerging questions about recent theoretical advances, as well as trends and challenges in the field.
