The thesis of this book is that, whilst development should not necessarily be equated solely with economic growth, a broader and more human definition might promote beneficial change. In developing this thesis, the author brings the debate into an unusual context - the European Community.

About this title

Review

"This book is a welcome addition to the debate on future directions of the European Community given the dearth of legal literature addressing development issues in the European Union. Furthermore, the existing literature is mainly in the context of the economically developing world. This book is therefore unusual in placing development questions within the setting of economically developed countries. It is also welcome for its admirable analysis of Community law in its policy environment." - European Law Review "...realistically priced and will be appreciated by students and their teachers, who are concerned with the operation of development policies and the future of Europe's regions and rural environment." - Environment & Planning "...offers a useful examination of the EU's regional policy which raises broader questions concerning the meaning of development and sustainable growth." -Political Studies "...a timely and stimulating treatment." - European Journal of International Law
