Summary

Since Tuscany was targeted as an Objective Two area to reverse industrial decline, its development has made it a European Union success story. This volume brings together, for the first time in English, a team of experts to examine the 'Tuscan Model' of development and its link with European integration. All aspects of the economy are examined from the textile industry to tourism.
It is shown that Tuscany has benefited from European integration and regional decentralisation, with an expanding export market to other EU 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 is an invaluable reference for students, scholars and practitioners alike.
