Abstract:
Implicit in some of the political judgements on the rationale for regional policy is the
thesis that the less prosperous regions of the United Kingdom, or indeed any European
state, need to be helped by a programme of government assistance towards industrial
development which, if it is successful, will eventually reach the point where the new
industrial structure will begin to be self sustaining and, possibly, even generate further
expansion. In such a thesis there may be arguments for assistance in overcoming the
initial diseconomies of locating in a particular region, creating external economies
through the interdependence of various projects and increasing the viability of projects
as expertise and productivity all improve. All of these might combine to create a more
advantageous location which can attract further industry and overcome the initial disadvantages.
