Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This book looks at the evolution of regional disparities in Europe in a period of profound social and economic change. It represents a thorough analysis of how local social, political, and institutional settings relate to regional economic performance and highlights the persistence of territorial disparities in Europe.
MoreLong description:
In a period of deep economic, social, and political transformation, regional disparities seem to be particularly resistant to change. The emergence of a global economy, the shift in production methods, and the greater mobility of capital, labour, and raw materials have not brought about a radical reshuffling of the prevailing regional disparities.
There is a greater concentration of economic activity in core areas and very few peripheral regions are taking advantage of the process of global restructuring. The Dynamics of Regional Growth in Europe looks for the reasons behind this persistence in the social, political, and institutional arrangements of a large set of European regions, by trying to relate two scientific approaches concerned with regional economic performance, which share very little in common: the literature on socio-economic restructuring and structural change, and neoclassical and endogenous growth theories.

The work uses a genuine comparative analysis of regional economic developments, based on Eurostats dat at NUTS 2 level. This makes the book distinctly different from many of the books on Europe and Europe's regions, which are mostly edited collections of individual contributions... this analytical approach, seeking genuine comparability at a Europe-wide regional level (NUTS 2) of indicators and causes of 'difference'... allows this book to make a useful contribution to the current debate on regions and their role in Europe... the book is certainly useful, with a well-structured and interesting discussion, and informative evidence.
