Description
Traditionally a strong textile area, Tuscany was targetted as an area in need of EC intervention to reverse industrial decline. Its development since then has made it a European Community success story. This volume brings together various different experts to examine the "Tuscan model" of development and its link with European integration. All aspects of the economy, from the textile industry to tourism are examined. It is shown that Tuscany has benefitted from European integration and regional decentralization, with an expanding export market to other EC countries. Crucially, the "principles and practice" approach demonstrates how the model can be applied to other such regions, and the book has applicability beyond the immediate scope of study. Given the absolute necessity of a coherent industrial policy at European level, this volume should be a valuable reference for students, scholars and practitioners alike.
