Description
This new political economy approach to comparative regional development and territorial division of labour is applied in an up-to-date account of Italian industrial change and regional economic performance.
The authors draw on recent ESRC funded research project results, as well as official data sets, to provide a comprehensive picture of Italy's economic performance and its development relative to other European countries and the rest of the world.
Italy's internal differentiation and persistent regional inequalities are analysed, along with the impact of changes in key industries such as cars, chemicals, steel and clothing on regional development.
