Spatial Dynamics of European Integration

Regional and Policy Issues at the Turn of the Century

Herausgegeben: Fischer, Manfred M.; Nijkamp, Peter

Beschreibung

Although it is agreed that the dual development of monetary integration and territorial enlargement are likely to generate profound effects on European spatial structure, in both West and East, much uncertainty centres around the question of what changes will be brought about. This book furthers our economic understanding of the opportunities and challenges offered by these developments. The emphasis is primarily on the economic agenda associated with European integration. The complete Table of Contents can be found on the Internet.
