About this title

Synopsis

Regions –political, geographic, cultural –help to define a nation. There is a longstanding public, academic and governmental recognition that regionalism is an important aspect of national identity. Despite that importance, all countries experience regional disparities to greater or lesser degrees. Participatory democracy, values of localism, co-operativism, grassroots activism and decision-making that flows bottom-up are slow to inform public policy initiatives.

Regional development experiences have generated a wide array of theoretical approaches addressing regional disparity and informing public policy. Doing Development Differently documents interventions that challenge established patterns of development on both sides of the Atlantic, in the Maritime Provinces (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island) and Ireland.
