Description - Regional Development Agencies in Europe by Charlotte Damborg

In the past decade Europe has seen much change, and at the same time the importance of the regional perspectives has significantly increased. Regional Development Agencies in Europe brings together experiences of Regional and Development Agencies throughout Europe to provide material for the first major comparative study of bottom-up regional policy across the continent. Using an analytical framework developed by editors, the contributors evaluate the long term potential and limitations of the RDAs in terms of promoting regional and economic development. Institutional and other preconditions for successful regional polices are identified, and combined with a broad analytical and geographical coverage that includes Eastern Europe, a clearer picture of the relevance of the RDAs emerges. The book includes: An review of RDAs in Europe, their activities and key features An analysis of the general characteristics of European development agencies, including strategies, evaluation methods ect.
Case studies of selected organisation throughout Europe Discussion of the institutional framework for regionally-based economic development in countries in Central and Eastern Europe An assessment of the future prospects for the role of RDAs in Europe
