Reviews
"“A warm welcome must be given to the book prepared by Professor Ugo Fratesi. Some works published years ago on Regional Policy are clearly obsolete. Others have a partial approach, either because of the topic or focus or because they refer to specific cases. This book offers a refreshing global, theoretical, and practical vision of what Regional Policy is, its objectives and instruments. It has a well-defined structure. It is solid, and very well written. I therefore have no doubt about its timeliness, nor about its usefulness for teaching and for many interested professionals, economists or not, including policymakers."" Juan R. Cuadrado-Roura, Professor of Applied Economy and Former President of the European Regional Science Association."

Cuadrado-Roura, Professor of Applied Economy and Former President of the European Regional Science Association. “Regional policy requires a spatially differentiated approach allied with an effective governance system. These are challenging conditions, for which this book explains in a clear and rigorous style, the rationale, the What and the How. Together with its enlightening examples and diagrams, this is a precious work companion for students, academics, and policymakers in the field of regional development.” Joaquim Oliveira Martins, Counsellor at the CEPII, Paris and Special Advisor to the Commissioner for Cohesion and Reforms at the EU Commission. ""In the face of challenges such as globalisation and migration, climate change, technological and digital transformation and the demographic transition, policymakers across the world are increasingly seeking to develop spatially targeted policies that build on regional and local knowledge and capabilities. This ambitious new book provides an excellent synthesis of recent thinking on regional policy combining key insights from the latest research with a thorough understanding of the issues faced by policymakers. It should be essential reading for anyone who wants to deepen their understanding of regional policies in today’s world.” Peter Berkowitz"
