Abstract
Paradoxically, in view of the low priority accorded to
regional policy and regional planning in the UK over the
past decade, regional development studies remain a popular
field for enquiry judging by the number of new books and
journals in this area. Regional Development in the 1990s, the fourth book in the 'Regional Policy and Development'
series published by Jessica Kingsley and the Regional
Studies Association, is one of the most ambitious of the
recent offerings. The book, sponsored by the RSA, comprises an update and extension of the 'Inquiry' into regional problems and issues in the United Kingdom conducted by the
Association in 1983. However, this publication has a much
broader scope. In addition to regional profiles, the book
contains a series of thematic contributions on specialist
aspects of regional development, together producing a
collection of 37 essays by 47 authors.
