Abstract
For the past five years, regional policy in the European
Community has been characterized by radical
changes in the policies of individual Member States
as well as the regional policy of the European Community
(EC) itself. Particularly in northern Europe,
traditional regional policy has come under considerable
strain with the rise of competing policy priorities
and public expenditure constraints. The increasing
independence of the European Community in the
exercise of its own regional policy, as well as interventions in regional aid by the European Commission
under EC competition policy, have contributed
to the pressures on Member States.
The following paper reviews recent changes in
regional policy in the EC focusing, first, on recent
developments in the regional policies of the Member
States and, second, in the policies of the European
Community.
